On the passing of the 1935 Act, a full survey was immediately undertaken for the
purposes of this Act and enquiry made in a manner which was substantially that necessary
for the full particulars of the Form B later issued by the Minister of Health. The district
sanitary inspectors were utilised for this purpose and the staff was not increased. At the
end of 1935 it was apparent that the survey could be completed within a reasonable time
with some pressure on the staff, which was relieved by a consideration of their other duties
in relation to the necessity of this completion.
In no case was the law invoked, but was an effective background to negotiation.
