Regular inspections are made with regard to the provisions
of the Shops Act, 1950 which are concerned with
sanitary accommodations, washing facilities, heating, lighting
and ventilation. Where plans are submitted of new construction

to ensure that the proposals comply with the provisions of
the statute.
The Sanitary Inspectors are also responsible for the
administration of the law relating to shop hours, including
early closing and Sunday trading.
A total of 456 inspections were made during the year
and 46 notices were served; seven of these referred to sanitary
arrangements as defined in Section 38. The remainder
