FOOD HAWKERS.
Persons selling food from a vehicle, cart, barrow etc.,
are subject to the same provisions relating to the safeguarding
of food supplies as are all other food traders.
In addition the Middlesex County Council Act requires that
they shall be, registered by the Local Authority who may
refuse to do so if the public health is or is likely to be
endangered by any act or default of the person in relation
to the quality, storage or distribution of the food or if
the storage premises, are unsuitable.
There has been little change in the position during the year. One further application, for the sale of fruit and vegetables, was approved, and the total number of registration at the end of the year was:-
