MILK SUPPLY Under the Milk (Special Designation) Regulations,
1960, the licences for the sale of special
designated milk will from 1st January 1961 be granted by the food
and drugs authority, which in this area is the County Council. The
period for which a licence will be granted is extended from one year
to five years and the system of granting supplementary licences for:
dealers from outside the local authority's area is abolished. The?
registration of distributors premises under the Milk and Dairies
Regulations, 1949, will continue to be effected by this Council, thus
from next year the unfortunate situation will exist wherein milk
dealers must register with the Borough Council and obtain a licence
to sell from the County Council.

During 1960 eight new registrations were effected and licences for the sale of designated milk granted as follows:-
