These regulations replace, subject to amendment, the New Territories Aules relating to pasteurization plants and the sale of milk. They follow closely the provisions of the Milk By-laws, 1960, which were also piade under the Public Health and Urban Services Ordinance, 1960, for application in the urban xess, but will be administered by the Director of Urban Services.
2 These regulations differ so widely in form from the corresponding New Terbarica Roles which they supersede as to render a Comparative Table of lible assistance to their study. Such a Table has not therefore been prepared.
