The Food Hygiene (Markets, Stalls and Delivery Vehicles) Regulations 1966
The Middlesex County Council Act 1950 — Section 11
The position in respect of itinerant hawkers of hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. in the vicinity of the Tottenham
Hotspur Football Club on match days, has steadily improved. It was not found necessary to ask for the
assistance of the police on any occasion during this year and the general standard of hygiene of the food
hawkers operating in the area was reasonably satisfactory. The occasional unregistered hawker who appears for
the first and often the only time remains a problem.
