The figure in this statement do not include milk consumed in farmers' households; milk used on farms for the manufacture of butter and cream; milk; milk sold by producers who are exempted from the

Excluding milk fed to livestock, of which no particulars are available, the estimated total quantities of milk produced in England and Wales in 1908 (no estimate having been made for the year 1913), and in the six years 1930–31 to 1935–36 have been as follow:

	Million gallons.
1908	975
1930–31 (1st June—31st May)	1,263
1931–32 (1st June—31st May)	1,303
1932–33 (1st June—31st May)	1,349
1933–34 (1st June—31st May)	1,379
1934–35 (1st June—31st May)	1,399
1935–36 (1st June—31st May)	1,413

The figures for the years 1908 and 1930-31 were obtained in connection with the voluntary censuses of production carried out in those years, and the estimates for the years, and the estimates for the years 1931-32 to 1935-36 have been based upon the census of 1930-31, on the assumption that the average yield per cow has remained unaltered.It was estimated in 1908 that of the total quantity of milk produced 664 million gallons were available for consumption as liquid milk, and 277 million gallons were used for manufacture, the balance of 34 million gallons representing waste or other loss. No comparable estimates have been made for 1930–31 or subsequent years, but the following particulars of milk sold for liquid consumption and for manufacture under the Milk Marketing Scheme have been supplied by the Milk Marketing Board for England and Wales:provisions of the Milk Marketing Scheme; and tuberculin tested milk. This information is not collected by the Milk Marketing Board.

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in connection with the improvements made to the roads to Anglesey, he will take steps to ensure that the result is not to produce unemployment amongst the considerable number of men in the coastal shipping trade who are at present engaged in transport by sea to Anglesey?

I have been informed by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport, that he is not aware of any improvements now in progress in the roads to Anglesey which are likely to produce the results indicated in the question.

asked the Minister of Pensions whether he can state the number of men who have been in receipt of disability pensions for some period since 1918 but who are not now in receipt of pensions; and how many of these men have unsuccessfully made application for the renewal of their pensions?

I regret that the Ministry's records do not enable me to give these particulars with any degree of accuracy.

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that Thomas Llewellyn Jones, J.X. 133,460, joined the Royal Navy as a boy telegraphist in August, 1929, and from August, 1931, was engaged for a period of 12 years; that up to 1935 his character, efficiency, and health were good; that in 1935 he was passed as Al for joining His Majesty's ship "Cairo," from the Royal Naval Barracks, Chatham; and whether, under these circumstances, he will explain why his illness, reported sick June, 1935, was attributed not due to naval service and why he was discharged as physically unfit and without pension?

The facts concerning this rating's service in the Royal Navy are substantially as stated in the question. A naval pension could only be granted to a man of such short service if his illness were found to have been caused by some abnormal condition of his naval service; the naval medical authorities after careful investigation, are unable to certify that this requirement has been fulfilled in this instance. It would not be enough merely to find that the illness had arisen during the period of service.

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will state the number of residents in Bootle who come in the category of seasonal workers; and what proportion of them receive any money from the Unemployment Insurance Fund?

I regret that statistics giving the desired information are not available.

Eighty-six houses have been erected, 1,566 are in course of erection, and contracts have been entered into for a further 1,212. In addition arrangements are in hand for a further 2,751, making a total of 5,615.
