Collection LCC/PC/GEN - PUBLIC CONTROL DEPARTMENT: ORGANISATIONAL AND GENERAL MATTERS

2 linear metres

LCC/PC/GEN 1845-1966 Collection 2 linear metres LCC , London County Council x London County Council

The term 'public control', as used in the Council's organisation, embraced various services of a regulative character, mostly exercised by some form of licensing control. Largely unobtrusive in their operation, and producing no spectacular effects, they were all carried out in the public interest and, in some respects, for the protection of the public or certain sections of it.

Their administration was conditioned by trends in the legislative provisions under which they were operated, by shifts and changes in social usages, and by the development of the Council's policies towards the matters to which they related.

Acquired with the records of its parent body, the London County Council.

Records of the London County Council Public Control Department, 1845-1966, including subject and policy files on various topics including the Royal Commission on Local Taxation; Smoke Nuisance Abatement (Metropolis) Bill; smoke nuisances, atmospheric pollution, smog and fogs; smoke in Thames tunnels; and electricity generating stations. Annual Reports of the Chief Officer of the Public Control Department and annual reports of the Public Control Committee and of the Inebriates Acts Committee. Other papers including Acts of Parliament relevant to the work of the Public Control Department; notes and instructions for guidance of inspectors; examples of warrants issued to officers authorising them to institute proceedings in the courts; solicitor's reports and legal opinions on public control matters.
