Majority Report of the Royal Commission of 1905-1909 in United Kingdom

Majority Report of the Royal Commission of 1905-1909 and the x

In this issue about majority report of the royal commission of 1905-1909, the book “English Poor Law Policy” [1] reads as follows: The analysis of Poor Law Policy contained in the preceding chapters, and the comparative statement of principles to which it led, was made the subject of a report to the Royal Commission on the Poor Law in the very middle of its career. We have thought it convenient to leave the analysis and the statement-subject to the correction of a few trifling errors-exactly as they were written in July 1907. We have now to examine the Report of the Royal Commission itself, and to see how far that body responded to the suggestion that it should formulate a definite body of principles upon which public assistance should proceed.
