Abstract
AN interesting memorandum, entitled “Current Trend of Population in Great Britain”, was presented to Parliament by the Minister of Health and the Secretary of State for Scotland in May 1942*, but it is explained, in the opening paragraph, that this memorandum was actually “submitted shortly before the outbreak of the war by the Registrars -General of England and Wales and of Scotland to the Royal Commission on the Geographical Distribution of the Industrial Population”. It was not included in the papers published by that Commission. The facts dealt with are those available up to April 1938 and no account is taken of the War.
