THE SCRAP METAL DEALERS ACT, 1964
This Act required dealers in scrap metal to be licenced by
the local authority. Dealers are required to maintain, in a
prescribed manner, records of their business transactions.
Special provision is made for "itinerant" dealers who may be
exempted from the keeping of full records of their transactions
and this, and other provisions of the Act, are administered in
co-operation with the local police. During the year 88 licences
were issued to local dealers.
THE RIDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT, 1964
This Act came into operation during the year and provides
for the licencing and inspection of riding establishments by the
local authority. Licences are granted subject to conditions
attached thereto and inspections are carried out, at six-monthly
intervals, by authorised veterinary surgeons. Seven licences
have been granted to local establishments.
CAMPING SITES
