Abstract
ASPECTS of evacuation problems are discussed in recent articles in the Political Quarterly and the Quarterly Review, which make a number of useful suggestions for their solution. Reviewing the working and present position of the evacuation scheme in the Political Quarterly, Mr. A. D. K. Owen suggests that in Scotland uncertainty concerning the financial aspects of evacuation played a considerable part in deterring many people from going away or permitting their children to leave vulnerable areas. He considers that more effective publicity, directed to the poorer sections of the population, relating to the financial implications of evacuation might have resulted in a more satisfactory response.
