INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD
MILK
The number of Dairy Premises on the Register is 117 and
there are 234 Purveyors of Milk registered.
59 Licences for the sale of Pastuerised Milk and licences
for the sale of Tuberculin Tested Milk were granted during the

Routine inspections were made to these dairy premises and
also to food shops and stores. At the Government Meat Depot
situated in the Borough daily inspections were made. A good
deal of work was also involved in the inspection of a considerable
quantity of food surrendered as unfit for human consumption
and where possible this was handed over to the Salvage
Authorities.
