The Standing Orders of the Middlesex County Council, with
reference to the provision of sanitary conveniences for Public Halls, are as
follows:—
No. 39. Proper cloakrooms, water closets and lavatory accommodation
shall be provided for both sexes, and in premises licensed for stage
plays there shall be provided sufficient dressing-room and lavatory
accommodation for each sex, for the sole use of the performers.
No. 40. Where grounds are licensed, the lavatory and cloak-room
accommodation shall be conveniently and properly screened.
No hard and fast lines are laid down by the County Council
Licensing Committee as regards cloak-room, water-closet and lavatory
accommodation, but each case is dealt with on its merits on the report of the
County Engineer. I have emphasised three words in Standing Order 39.
