BRITISH INDUSTRIAL POPULATION
Policy Of Dispersal 'British Official Wireless.l (Keceived April 18, 7.5 p.m.) RUGBY. April 17. The Minister of Health, during a House of Commons debate on the report of the Royal Commission on the distribution of the industrial population, said the country was now under conditions in which planning, control and authority were being exercised to an extent which none of the signatories of the report could have envisaged when they started their work before the war. The policy of the dispersal of the industrial population as recommended by the Commission had been the whole policy of the Government in recent months. Even the Commission's suggestion that the great aggregation in London should be checked was being carried out by the course of events, at least 1,500.000 people having been lost, to the metropolis by the evacuation measures.
