§ 45. Sir H. Croftasked the Prime Minister whether he is taking steps to ascertain the facts about the decrease in the population; and whether it is proposed to appoint a Royal Commission to report upon this subject and to suggest remedial measures?
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Baldwin)As my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health recently stated, the Registrar-General is continuing and extending his investigations and researches into this matter. Consultation is also proceeding so as to secure the co-operation of the committee recently formed under the chairmanship of Professor Carr-Saunders. I think at the present stage this is the most useful course to adopt.
§ Mr. E. J. WilliamsCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether unemployment will be taken into consideration in connection with this inquiry?
