Abstract
THE report which the Committee on Land Utilisation in Rural Areas, under Lord Justice Scott as chairman, has submitted includes the majority report and also a minority report by Prof. S. R. Dennison, which differs in outlook and its observations on policy rather than in the detail of the actual recommendations, particularly in regard to machinery and procedure, a note of reservation by Prof. Dennison and Mrs. H. Hichens and an additional memorandum on valuation and rating by the chairman, vice-chairman, Mr. H. S. Cooper, Mr. A. E. Monks and Mr. P. Robinson. The Committee was appointed by Lord Reith in October 1941 to consider the conditions which should govern building and other constructional development in country areas of Great Britain consistently with the maintenance of agriculture, and in particular the factors affecting the location of industry, having regard to economic operation, part-time and seasonal employment, the well-being of rural communities and the preservation of rural amenities. The terms of reference did not include Scotland.
