NOTE: Regulation 16 deals with the provision of wash hand
basins and Regulation 19 with facilities for washing food and
equipment.
155 notices were served under these Regulations during
the year, and no formal or statutory action was required in
connection with these notices.
Two prosecutions were, however, taken under these Regulations
in respect of handlers of food who did not refrain from the
use of tobacco. In each case the defendant was fined £5 and the
Council awarded lgn. costs.
ROMFORD MARKET
The Public Health Inspectors who are responsible for the
enforcement of the Food Hygiene (Markets, Stalls 8s Delivery
Vehicles) Regulations, 1966—have suggested that the practice
of hiring out stall covers without the use of a Council stall be
discontinued, as these loose covers tend to get dirty as a result
of coming into contact with the ground.
