Registration of Food Premises.
The London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1932, section 5, requires the

these was given in the annual report for 1933.

Milk and Dairies Order, 1926.
General observation was kept by the Inspectors on all purveyors of milk in the
Borough. No legal proceedings were taken during the year.
Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923.
During the year 42 applications were received for the sale of milk under these
regulations in the Borough. The applications were investigated and all were found
to be satisfactory.
Thirty-three samples of milk were taken during 1934, compared with 17 in 1933.
This increase is mainly due to the fact that during the year under review the Council
decided that all milk which was supplied under the Maternity and Child Welfare
Scheme and under the scheme for the provision of extra nourishment to tuberculous
cases, should be "pasteurised," and the same decision was arrived at by the London
County Council with regard to the supply of milk to schools.
