MEMORANDUM.

The Rag Flock Act, 1911, provided that it shall not be lawful for a person to sell or have in his possession for sale flock manufactured from rags, unless the flock conforms to such standard of cleanliness as may be prescribed by the Local Government Board.

In recent years conflicting decisions have arisen through the absence of a definition of "flocks manufactured from rags," and this Bill seeks to rectify the omission.
