PREMISES
Food and Drugs Administration.
In the following statistics the figures for the previous year are given
in brackets.
314 (309) samples were taken during the year of which 304 (304)
were found to be genuine (List A) and 10 (5) to be sub-standard (List B).
8 (13) food complaints were referred to the Public Analysts (List
C) and 19 (27) food complaints were dealt with informally (List D).
The accompanying lists (A and B) indicate the wide variety of
food and drugs actually sampled.
I would express my indebtedness to the Public Analysts, Dr. J.
Hubert Hamence, M.Sc., Ph.D., F.R.I.C., and Mr. Philip Sidney Hall,
B.Sc., F.R.I.C., for their helpful and ready advice in the many difficulties
which necessarily crop up in this highly specialised branch of our work.
