Overview

This is the official report of the Royal Commission on the Aged Poor, appointed to investigate potential reforms to the Poor Law relief system in Great Britain. The commission was tasked with determining whether changes were needed for individuals whose poverty stemmed from an inability to work due to old age or other forms of incapacity. This historical document offers insights into the social welfare debates and policies of the time, providing a detailed look at the challenges faced by the elderly poor and the governmental responses considered. It remains a valuable resource for researchers and anyone interested in the history of social welfare, poverty, and British governmental policy.
