The polarization of neutrons produced in the reaction ${\mathrm{Li}}^{7}(p, n){\mathrm{Be}}^{7}$ has been examined by using $n$-${\mathrm{He}}^{4}$ scattering as an analyzer and the pulsed-beam time-of-flight technique as a neutron spectrometer. Results are reported up to 4.95-Mev proton energy. The data include results on the neutron groups corresponding to beryllium-7 being left in its ground state and first excited state. Using neutrons of 2.1 Mev which are polarized 38%, the polarization for $n\ensuremath{-}d$ scattering at several angles has been found to be less than 0.07, which is consistent with a prediction by Christian and Gammel of negligible polarization.
