Rag flock is defined in the present Section of the Act as:—
"Flock which has been produced wholly or partly by tearing
up woven or knitted or felted materials, whether old or new, but
does not include flock obtained wholly in the process of scouring and
finishing newly woven or newly knitted or newly felted fabrics."
In view of this definition it is particularly difficult to prove that
any given sample is produced from the materials set out in the definition.
To a very great extent the control of this material can only be enforced
at the actual place of manufacture.
PUBLIC HEALTH (LONDON) ACT, 1936.
Section 224.
The Act provides for the removal, upon an order from a petty
sessional court, into a suitable hospital or institution, of any aged or
infirm or physically incapacitated person residing in premises under
insanitary conditions, or suffering from any grave chronic disease, who
is unable to devote to himself (or herself) or receive from persons with
whom he (or she) resides, proper care and attention, and who may,
therefore, suffer in health or become a serious nuisance to other persons.
