-38-
Though the main purpose of this Bill is to provide an Act of Parliament
that will strengthen the arm of those who have the responsibility of enforcing
improved conditions, it may be hoped that its introduction, together with the
attendant publicity, will act as a stimulus to the sense of responsibility not
only of those already engaged in the food industry but also of those who propose
to enter it.
