Abstract
AN admirable review of the problems arising out of the sudden redistribution of population involved in the evacuation of the priority classes at the outbreak of war is given in a broadsheet on the “Home Front” recently issued by Political and Economic Planning (P E P). So far, however, there has been little evidence of any long-term thinking on these problems. Moreover, although a number of individual business firms appear to have acted on Mr. Harold Macmillan's plea for a considered review of the whole policy of evacuation, and returned part at least of their central offices from the country into London or other larger cities, there are no signs that the opportunity of revising and improving evacuation arrangements is being utilized by the Government.
