§ 53. Mr. Odeyasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will review the Regulations issued in March, 1949, governing the collection of kitchen waste to enable a licence to be transferred from one collector to another in cases where, at the discretion of his Department, there would appear to be good and sufficient grounds for such a transfer.
§ Sir T. DugdaleUnder the Kitchen Waste (Licensing of Private Collectors) Order I already have power to transfer a licence from one collector to another; but to avoid the risk of animal disease we try to see that waste goes through a central plant wherever possible. Old-established collectors are given licences so that they can go on collecting from their old rounds, but this is a purely personal concession and we do not usually allow licences to be transferred if there is a central plant to which the waste could go.
