Registration of food premises

of the coming into force of the Food and Drugs Act, 1955, which
requires the specific registration of any rooms or accommodation used
for the purpose for which registration is required, as distinct from the
requirements of the Food and Drugs Act, 1938 which required merely
registration of the premises.
