Abstract
THE report of the Scott Committee on Land Utili-sation in Rural Areas completes the work begun by the Royal Commission on the Distribution of the Industrial Population, the terms of reference of which excluded the consideration of agriculture ; and although its major and minor recommendations are sometimes rather confusingly blended, the report is clearly a reconstruction paper of the first importance. It has life and colour and gives substance to some of those aspirations for an ampler and more satisfying national life which the War has accentuated. Moreover, like the interim report of the Uthwatt Committee, it reiterates the importance of immediate action. A survey of the report appears on p. 448.
