(b) Confectioners' shops or restaurants.
(c) General shops which are of exceptional cleanliness,
and in which the variety of articles sold is
strictly limited, and no objectionable articles, as
oil, coal, greengrocery, etc., are kept. These are
only allowed to sell milk when a milk business has
already been previously carried on, or where there
is no other milk shop near.
Where the premises are not confined to the sale of dairy
produce, it is usual to require the milk bowl to be kept
in a glass case covered in on all sides with a swinging
door. In other cases a permanent cover to the milk bowl
alone is required.
