INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
(a) MILK SUPPLY.
Registration.—By Section 2 of the Milk and Dairies (Amendment)
Act, 1922, the Council is empowered to refuse to enter the
name of any person in the register, or to remove the name of any
person from the register, if it is shown to the satisfaction of the
Council that the public health is, or is likely to be, endangered by
any act or default of such person in relation to the quality, storage
or distribution of milk.
By Section 6 of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, the Council is
required to keep registers of all persons carrying on in the Borough
the trade of dairymen and of all premises in the Borough which
are used as dairies.
In the Milk and Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1915, the word
" dairy " includes any farm, cowshed, milk store, milk shop, or
other place from which milk is supplied on or for sale, or in which
milk is kept or used for purposes of sale or manufacture into butter,
cheese, dried milk, or condensed milk for sale, and, in the case of
a purveyor of milk who does not occupy any premises for the sale
of milk, includes the place where he keeps the vessels used by him
for the sale of milk, but does not include a shop from which milk
is not supplied otherwise than in properly closed and unopened
receptacles in which it was delivered to the shop, or a shop or other
place in which milk is sold for consumption on the premises only.
While a shop from which milk is not supplied otherwise than
in the properly closed and unopened receptacles, in which it is
delivered to the shop is not a dairy within the meaning of the
Act, the person who sells that milk in the unopened receptacles
is a purveyor of milk and must be registered with the local authority
before he is entitled to sell such bottled milk.
