A fee of 7s. 6d. is payable to the local authority by every person for entry of his name in
the list in respect of each set of premises on which he is entitled to sell poisons and thereafter
an annual fee of 5s. is payable for the retention of his name on the list for each set of
premises.
The local authority is empowered to refuse to enter, or to remove from the register, the
name of any person who fails to pay the prescribed fee or who, in the opinion of the authority
is, for any reason relating either to himself or to his premises, not fit to be on the list. There is
right of appeal against the decision of the local authority.

Under the Act, local authorities are empowered to take samples of poisonous substances
for examination and during 1936 two articles were purchased and submitted to the Council's
