Explanatory Note.

(Thin note is not part of the by-laws, bul is intended to indicate their general purport).

Under the existing Disease Prevention (Food and Drinks) By-laws, the wording indicates that ne permalt is required for the sale of non- bottled, carbonated and non-carbonated drinks in premises licensed under the Restaurants and Food Stalls By-laws whereas, in fact, it is required. By-law is therefore designed to make it clear that a permit is required in this case,

2. By-law 9 allows the sale of bottled carbonated and non-cardonated drinks under one permit, provides for a date for the renewal of permita issuable under the Disease Prevention (Food and Drinks) By-laws, and also provides for the payment of half fees for permits issued after 1st October.
