During the
Second World War the British government was
constantly monitoring the success of its various policies concerning
the Home Front. The government was also
aware of the possibility that it might be necessary to introduce
legislation to deal with any emerging problems.
It is December
1941. You have been asked to write a report on Overseas

A report on the Overseas Reception Board.
Things you
should consider include:

was the Overseas Reception Board?

was the overseas evacuation programme brought to a halt in 1940?
(c) Did
parents continue to send their children overseas after 1940?
(2)

like to see in government policy. These proposals will then be discussed
and voted on by the rest of the class.
Things you
should consider include:
