INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
(a) Milk Supply.
The following statistics relate to the milk supply of the
area :—
Registration Particulars :
Number of premises registered as dairies 48
Number of persons registered as dairymen 49
Number of persons registered as " purveyors of
milk " in sealed containers only 32
Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923 :
The following licences were issued by the Council under the
above-mentioned Order :
Number of Pasteurisers' Licences 1
Number of Dealers' Licences to sell
(a) Certified Milk 2
(b) Grade A (Tuberculin Tested) Milk 5
(c) Grade A Milk 2
(d) Pasteurised Milk 13
There are no actual farms or cowkeepers within the
Borough. Although the major portion of the milk is distributed
in bottle containers, it will be observed from the statistics set
out above that 32 persons are registered for the sale of milk
in sealed containers only, thus indicating the growing popularity
and demand for milk packed for distribution in the waxed
cartons.
The one licence issued by this Council for the pasteurisation
of milk ceased to be in operation when the premises in which
this was carried on were transferred to the neighbouring
Borough of Acton, on the adjustment of the Borough boundaries
by virtue of the Middlesex County Council (Review of
Districts) Order which came into operation on April 1st, 1934.
(b) Meat and Other Foods.
The major portion of the meat supply comes through the
London Central Market, but there is one local wholesale firm
of meat distributors located in the area.
