Food Hygiene (Markets. Stalls and Delivery Vehicles) Regulations 1966
(as amended):
Inspections of stalls and delivery vehicles during the period indicated
that the informal approaches in 1967 had, in some instances, been disregarded.
Legal proceedings were therefore instituted to secure compliance with the
requirements in relation to five bread and cakes delivery vehicles and five
street traders selling fruit and vegetables from stalls. In two instances
relating to stalls the hearings were adjourned following undertakings being
given that the Regulations would be satisfied, and the summonses were subsequently
withdrawn. In the eight other cases the proceedings resulted in
the imposition of fines.
