There are 224 butchers' shops in the Borough, the majority
of which are subject to registration under the Public Health
(London) Act, 1936. 1,029 inspections were made of these shops,
and it was found necessary in 14 cases to serve notices on the
occupiers. The meat exposed for sale has been examined regularly,
and in several instances it was found necessary to warn the occupier
for failing to mark imported meat in a proper manner.
Under the Public Health Meat Regulations, 1924, every
butcher is required to do all that is reasonably necessary to guard
against contamination of the meat by flies, filth and dust. Special
attention is given to the requirements of these Regulations and
