The County Council delegated its inspection and licensing powers under the Order to this Council. Pigkeepers, smallholders and farmers were advised of the require- ments of the Order in relation to the boiling of waste food, cleansing of equipment and the need to prevent livestock gaining access to unboiled waste food. 8 licences were issued to farmers and pigkeepers whose premises satisfied this Order.
