INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
The food industry takes an unusually prominent place among the
commercial activities of the City of Westminster and situated within its
boundaries are places which are known practically all over the world,
such as "Covent Garden," "Soho," and "The West End," each in its
way possessing some reminiscent flavour of food. The traders in Covent
Garden Market handle over 1,000,000 tons of food annually and many
individual restaurants serve as many as 30,000 or more meals daily. It
is possible to purchase in Westminster foods and fruits from almost every
corner of the earth—birds nests from China, whale steaks from Canada
or Japan, mangoes from India as well as produce from many other lands
