Public Health (Imported Food) Regulations, 1925.
Notices were received from time to time from the Port of London
Sanitary Authority respecting tallow which had been released under
suitable guarantees for soapmaking, lubricating oils, etc.
Wrapping of Food.
The Public Health Committee considered a letter from the Metropolitan
Borough of Hackney stating that the Hackney Borough Council
were strongly of opinion that it should be compulsory to wrap bread before
delivery, and that newspapers or waste paper of that description should
not be used for the wrapping of foodstuffs such as fish, meats and sweets.
The Committee agreed to recommend the Council to support Hackney's

of clauses in the next General Powers Bill to provide for:—
(a) The compulsory wrapping of bread, and
(b) The prohibition of the use of newspapers or waste paper of that
description for the wrapping of such foodstuffs as are abovementioned
