The Royal Commission on Population was appointed by Royal Warrant to examine the post-war population trends in Great Britain. The brief was to investigate the causes of these trends and to consider their probable consequences and to consider what measures, if any, should be taken in the national interest to influence the future trend of population and make recommendations. Three specialist committees, Statistics, Economics, and Biological and Medical, were appointed and asked to investigate the scientific aspects of the problem and on their advice the Family Census (1946) was conducted by the Royal Commission. A fertility enquiry was also conducted by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Meetings with representatives of the Haut Comité de la Population et de la Famille took place in London and Paris. The General Register Offices for England and Wales and Scotland and other government departments gave assistance with a number of special enquiries.
