6. The issue of regulations for securing the supply of pure
and wholesome milk.
7. The establishment by local authorities in populous places
of milk depots for the sale of milk specially prepared for infants.
The provisions as to registration supersede the provisions as to the
registration of dairies contained in the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Acts
and the Orders made thereunder.
The provisions as to the inspection of dairies and the prohibition of
the supply of milk reproduce with amendment Section 4 of the Infectious
Diseases Prevention Act, 1890, Section 71 of the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891, and the model milk clauses incorporated in many local Acts.
The clause as to the prevention of the sale of tuberculous milk is also
taken from the model milk clauses, but the scope of the enactment is
somewhat extended.
The Board of Agriculture and Fisheries will, in connection with this
Bill, issue an order under the Diseases of Animals Act, 1894, dealing with
the notification of tuberculosis in cattle and the inspection, examination,
detention, isolation and slaughter of tuberculous cattle, and the giving of
compensation in appropriate cases.
This Bill was dropped and a new Bill has been promoted.
