Any trader, not being a registered pharmacist, who sells or is
desirous of selling any of the above Poisons and Poisonous Substances,
must have his name entered on the list kept by the Local
Authority of persons entitled to sell Poisons included in Part II
of the Poisons List, on premises used for or in connection with his
retail business situate within the area of the Local Authority.
The Local Authority may refuse to enter in the list, or may
remove from the list, the name of any person who fails to pay the
prescribed fees, or who in the opinion of the authority is not fit
to be on the list, for any sufficient reason, relating either to him
personally, or to his premises (or, in the case of a company, etc.,
relating personally to members of the board, or managers or other
officers of the company, etc.). Provision is made for appeal by an
aggrieved person against the decision of the authority.
The entry of a person's name on the Local Authority's list does
not entitle that person to retail poisons in Part I of the Poisons
List, which may only be retailed by registered pharmacists.
It is not lawful for any poison to be exposed for sale in, or to
be offered for sale by means of, an automatic machine.
Leaflets containing detailed particulars of the regulations as to
the methods of storage which must be observed, the special precautions
which must be taken for certain articles, the mode of sale,
the nature and labelling of containers, and restrictions as to the sale
of particular poisonous substances were distributed to 44 traders
whose names had been entered in the list as approved sellers of Part
II Poisons.
The list of persons compiled by the Council had legal effect as
from the 1st May, 1936. The necessary supervision of sellers of
poisons under Part II of the Poisons List is carried out by
the Council's District Sanitary Inspectors.
