Milk (Special Designations) Regulations
A person proposing to use a special designation authorised by the Regulations is
required to apply to the licensing authority of the area in which the milk is to be sold,
for a licence to use the designation. Upon being satisfied that the relevant provisions
of the Regulations are complied with, a Licensing Authority grant a dealer's licence to a
distributor in respect of each of his premises within their area from which the designated
milk is to be sold. Where a distributor holding a dealer's licence to use a special designation
in respect of milk sold from premises in one area, wishes to sell milk within the area of
another Licensing Authority, the latter authority may issue a dealer's supplementary
licence authorising the use of the designation in their area.
During the year 173 licences were issued, details of which are as follows:—
