The 58th Annual Conference of the Sanitary Inspectors Association was held at Margate from September 10th to 14th. Mr. F. Willey, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, addressed delegates on September 12th, when discussions were devoted exclusively to clean food. He spoke of the valuable work being done by local authorities, and regarded education as more than half the battle. Referring to the Food and Drugs Acts he said it was now being considered whether wider powers were necessary in order to keep abreast of current trends in the food manufacturing and distributive industries, with advances in sanitary sciences and practice, and with enlightened public opinion.
