Shops Act, 1934.— A summary of the work carried out under
this Act will be found set out, together with the details relating to
the sanitary inspection of the area. This will reveal the fact that
extra work has been thrown upon the shoulders of the Sanitary
Inspectors and Health Visitor. Again it must be stated that this
work is of great importance since it safeguards, not only the
interests of the employees working in the premises concerned, but
also the interests of the general public as a whole, particularly where
shops retailing foodstuffs and perishable goods are concerned. Still
further and more frequent inspection of shops will be required
when the proposed bye-laws with respect to hair-dressing establishments
comes into force.
