Abstract
THE Royal Commssion on Population was set up by the Coalition Government in March 1944, “to examine the facts relating to present population trends in Great Britain ; to investigate the causes of these trends and to consider their probable consequencqes ; to consider what measures, if any, should be taken in the national interest to influence the future trend of population ; and to make recommendations. The Commission has now issued its report*. The reports of the three committees appointed to assist it— the Economics Committee, the Statistics Committee, and the Biological and Medical Committee— together with sundry other scientific papers will be published in the near future.
