LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL (GENERAL POWERS) ACT, 1908.
This Act, which in its progress through Parliament has been the subject of
several reports by your Medical Officer, received the Royal Assent on the
1st August, 1908, and became immediately operative.
The opposition of the Corporation to certain clauses was successful.
At the second reading of the Bill in the Commons, upon the President of
the Local Government Board giving an undertaking that on an early occasion
he would bring in a general Bill dealing with the milk supply of the county,
the Police and Sanitary Committees were instructed to strike out from what
was then Part II. of the Bill all clauses dealing with the milk supply other
than the "model clauses." This instruction resulted in the whole of Part II.,
which deals with dirty or unwholesome milk, being struck out, as the "model
clauses" deal only with milk in relation to tuberculosis.
Your Medical Officer reported at length on this Act in a report dated the
27th October, 1908. The Sanitary provision in Part II. of the Act confers
the following additional powers upon the Corporation:—
Section 5: To remove from or refuse to register names of dairymen
whose premises are for any reason unsuitable for the sale of milk thereon.
Section 6: Power to appoint and pay the salaries of suitable women
to be known as health visitors, for the purpose of giving advice to
persons as to the proper nurture, care and management of young children
and the promotion of cleanliness.
