HC Deb 14 March 1967 vol 743 c81W
Q13. Earl of Dalkeith

asked the Prime Minister whether he is satisfied with the co-ordination between Ministers responsible for assessing the social and economic implications of the officially forecast 37 per cent. increase in the population of the United Kingdom over the next 33 years, with a view to promoting the appropriate legislation either to deal with the situation in advance of crisis point or to discourage large families and the birth of unwanted children; and if he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister
