THE PUBLIC HEALTH (MEAT REGULATIONS)
These Regulations came into force on April 1st, 1925; but
as there was a considerable uncertainty upon how they should be
interpreted and applied, and as it was desirable that there should be
some fairly uniform application of the Regulations within the
Metropolitan area, they were not enforced before the end of 1925.
The following statement therefore relates to the progress made under
the Regulations during the year 1926.
The Regulations are divided into six parts:
Part I gives definitions of the terms employed and of
duties.
Part II deals with Slaughterhouses and slaughtering,
and aims at securing the inspection of the animal shortly before
slaughter, proper conditions of slaughtering, and the inspection
of the carcase and offal immediately after slaughter.
