asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has statistical information of the quantities of iron-ore, pig-iron, scrap-iron, copper, tin, nickel and oil imported into Japan in the period July, 1937, to April, 1939, distinguishing the principal sources of supply; and, if not, will he endeavour to get this information?

Information of this nature has not been published in the Japanese trade returns in respect of any period subsequent to July, 1937, and my right hon. Friend regrets that he is not in a position to obtain it.

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, since the international oil companies could withhold supplies of oil to this country or charge excessive prices in peace or war, he will give encouragement to builders of diesel ships under a subsidy scheme to provide available space necessary for the installation of producer gas plants?

I am advised that the use of producer gas in connection with diesel machinery on sea-going vessels has not developed sufficiently to make it possible to consider the adoption of the suggestion made by my hon. Friend.

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many ex-British Army horses have been exported alive to Germany during the past two years?

I regret that the desired information is not available.

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he can now indicate the concrete results accruing from the arrangements he was able to make with regard to overseas trade during his recent visits to Poland, Russia, and the Scandinvanian countries?

As regards Poland and Russia, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given by the Prime Minister on 6th April to the right hon. Member for Wakefield (Mr. Greenwood), and the answer which I gave on 24th April to my hon. Friends the Members for New-castle-upon-Tyne, North (Sir N. Grattan-Doyle), and West (Sir J. Leech). As regards Finland, the discussions which I opened in Helsinki were continued in this country during April between representatives of United Kingdom industries and a Finnish Trade Delegation which visited this country at the invitation of the London Chamber of Commerce. The suggestions made are now under consideration by the industries represented in the discussions.As regards Sweden, arrangements have been made with the co-operation of the Federation of British Industries, for a visit to the United Kingdom at the beginning of July of a trade delegation from Sweden, with a view to discussing trade between the two countries.

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that printed and signed propaganda against the Spanish Government, with whom we are in friendly relations, is being periodically circulated to Members of Parliament and others, by Spanish refugees who have been permitted to enter this country; and whether, as such activities are not in accordance with the conditions under which they have been admitted and likely to prejudice good international relations, he will take steps in the matter?

If my hon. and gallant Friend will send me examples of this propaganda, my Noble Friend will give it his consideration.

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government has taken or will take advantage of the terms of the Anglo-Italian Agreement in order to ask the Italian Government how much Italian war material has been handed over to General Franco?

As was made clear in reply to questions on the 7th June, the terms of the Anglo-Italian Agreement do not give His Majesty's Government an opportunity to make representations about war material which passed out of Italian hands after the end of the civil war.

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will give a list of the various industries that are receiving Government subsidies; the date that each subsidy came into force; the cost of each subsidy per annum; and the total amount disbursed up to the last available date?

The following table gives certain information in regard to the subsidies at present payable from public funds to industries and branches of industry. It is not, however, possible to state the cost of each subsidy in the form of an annual liability as the statutes under

Information as to the probable cost of proposed further measures of assistance to agriculture, in respect of sheep, oats and barley, and to the shipping industry was given on 5th June in reply to a question by the hon. Member for East Rhondda (Mr. Mainwaring).

asked the Prime Minister whether he has considered the Memorandum on the holding of directorships by Cabinet Ministers recently submitted to him by the Member for North Hammersmith; and whether he has any statement to make?

The Memorandum which the hon. and learned Member has sent me is still under consideration and I am not yet in a position to make any statement.

asked the Prime Minister, whether the promised answers have now been received from the Governors of Colonial Dependencies anent areas available for refugee settlement; and what number of possible settlers are envisaged?

I have been asked to reply. I assume that my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind the communications to which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister referred in reply to a ques- which they are payable do not provide for the payment of fixed annual amounts. It should also be noted that in certain cases the basis of subsidy payments and the conditions under which they are made have been varied since the commencement of the subsidy.tion by my hon. Friend the Member for Wolverhampton, Bilston, on the 28th November; that is to say, the communications which were addressed by me to the Governors of a number of Colonial Dependencies other than those which my right hon. Friend had previously stated had been selected for the investigation of the possibilities of large or small scale refugee settlement. The latter group of territories comprised British Guiana, Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, Tanganyika Territory and Kenya. The other Governors were asked whether there were areas in their territories which could be leased or made available to the voluntary organisations concerned with the welfare of refugees, under suitable conditions for such refugees and without detriment to the interests of the existing populations.From the replies so far received it appears that only in one or two cases might some such settlement be possible. All the information received has been communicated to the Co-ordinating Committee for Refugees. In the same despatch I asked the Colonial Governments concerned to give the most sympathetic consideration they could to any individual applications from actual or potential refugees which indicated that the applicant was a person who was likely to become a good and useful citizen, provided of course that he was able to comply with the requirements of the immigration laws and regulations of the territory. I am glad to say that many Colonial Governments have responded to this appeal and that up to the 31st of March over 2,000 refugees have obtained temporary or permanent refuge in the Colonial Dependencies, three quarters of these during the last six months prior to that date.

asked the Post-master-General what is the present composition of the Television Advisory Committee; what are the technical qualifications of its members so far as wireless broadcasting and television are concerned; and when their report on the extension of the television service may be expected?

The present composition of the Television Advisory Committee is as follows:Chairman:The Lord Cadman, G.C.M.G., D.Sc.Vice Chairman:Mr. E. V. Appleton, D.Sc., L.D., F.R.S., Secretary, Department of Scientific and Industrial ResearchMembers:Colonel A. S. Angwin, D.S.O., M.C., M.I.E.E., B.Sc., Egineer-in-Chief, General Post Office.Sir Noel Ashbridge, M.I.E.E., B.Sc., controller (Engineering), British Broad-casting Corporation.Mr. O. F. Brown, M.A., B.Sc, Principal, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research; Secretary, Radio Research Board.Vice-Admiral Sir C. Carpendale, C.B., lately Deputy Director-General, British Broadcasting Corporation.Sir Cecil Graves, K.C.M.G., M.C., Deputy Director-General, British Broad-casting Corporation.Mr. G. Ismay, C.B., Comptroller and Accountant-General, General Post Office.Mr. F. W. Phillips, C.M.G., Director, Telecommunications Department, General Post Office.Sir Frank Smith, G.B.E., K.C.B., D.Sc., LL.D., F.R.S., lately Secretary, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.Secretary:Mr. J. Varley Roberts, M.C., Principal. Telecommunications Department, General Post Office.Having regard to the positions which the members of the committee actually occupy, or have recently occupied, and to the scientific standing of the technical members, it will, I think, be apparent that the committee is well qualified to advise on questions relating to the television service in both its technical and administrative aspects.

asked the Post-master-General whether any decision has yet been reached as to which provincial areas will be the first to benefit by an extension of the television service; and whether he can give a definite undertaking that the densely-populated area in the vicinity of Manchester will receive priority of consideration in this matter?

No decision has yet been reached regarding the extension of the television service beyond the London area. In considering any such extension full weight will be given to the claims of Manchester and other large centres.

asked the Postmaster-General whether the committee set up to consider the question of prices under non-competitive agreements has completed its work; and whether he can make a statement with regard to the conclusions reached?

As the hon. Member is aware, the discussions initiated with the contractors have as their object the grant to the Department of additional facilities for assessing the reasonableness of prices under bulk agreements. I am glad to be able to say that certain facilities have now been accorded by the equipment contractors and detailed investigation is at present proceeding into the overhead expenses of one of the firms. The results of this and any other investigations which may be undertaken should be available for the purpose of the negotiation by the Department of a new Agreement to replace the existing Equipment Agreement which expires early in 1940.

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can state the number of persons unemployed in the borough of Congleton, Cheshire, at the latest convenient date, and the comparative figures 12 months ago?

At 15th May, 1939, there were 1,015 unemployed persons on the registers of the Congleton Employment Exchange. The corresponding figure at 16th Hay, 1938, was 1,274.

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will give the unemployment figures for the Stalybridge Parliamentary division of the county of Chester and the percentage decrease or increase on July, 1930?

The available statistics relate to persons registered as unemployed at the Stalybridge and Hyde Employment Exchanges. The number of such persons, aged 14 and over, on the registers of these two exchanges at 15th May, 1939, was 3,839. This represents a decrease of 7,428, or 65.9 per cent., compared with 21st July, 1930.

asked the Minister of Labour what arrangements exist in North-east Cheshire for providing holiday camps for unemployed persons; and how many persons have taken advantage of any such facilities last year and this year?

I am not aware of any arrangements for providing holiday camps in North-east Cheshire for unemployed persons.

asked the Minister of Health whether he will give figures for the Stalybridge division of the county of Chester, showing what progress has been made in the last seven years with regard to improvement in the health of the people in this area?

I am obtaining such information as is available and will communicate it to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether he has any statement to make respecting the agreement with tribes on the North-west Frontier; the nature and conditions of this settlement; and whether the British air blockade which prevented the tribesmen from using their farmlands has now ceased?

Yes, Sir. A settlement was made with the Madda Khel on 10th April and with the Tori Khel on 14th May.The Madda Khel had committed a number of offences, of which the most serious was an attack on Datta Khel, and had persistently harboured persons hostile to Government, in particular the Fakir of Ipi. As the result an air blockade was imposed on the tribe. On 10th April a tribal jirga expressed its willingness to comply with the Government's terms, which include the surrender of hostages for good behaviour, fortfeiture of allowances and a fine of rifles, and the blockade was accordingly raised.The Tori Khel had for long been responsible for a number of kidnappings and for harbouring hostile elements, as the result of which action was taken to exclude them from their winter grazing grounds, partly by air proscription and partly by ground forces and an economic blockade was instituted. They have now handed over four captives, at the same time giving an undertaking to produce a further number within 20 days, and have reaffirmed their dissociation from hostile elements. he blockade has accordingly been raised.

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the increasing congestion of traffic at Victoria Gate, Hyde Park, owing to the long delay which has occurred in making the necessary alterations which, it is understood, have been agreed by all the authorities with the exception of the London County Council; what is the point at issue on which agreement with the London County Council has not been secured; when the necessary works are likely to be commenced; and whether, pending their completion, he will arrange for again opening the gate in the park immediately opposite Albion Street for east-going vehicular traffic so as to relieve to some extent the congestion at Victoria Gate?

I am aware of the serious congestion of traffic at Victoria Gate, Hyde Park, and am very anxious that an improvement should be effected as soon as possible. Agreement has unfortunately not so far been reached with the London County Council about the lay-out to be adopted nor about the point at which traffic from the Park would enter Bayswater Road. I am not, therefore, in a position to say when the works are likely to be commenced.The opening of Albion Gate is a matter for His Majesty's Office of Works and I will confer with that Department on the suggestion made by my hon. Friend.

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether the Admiralty are satisfied that they have an adequate supply of oil for every warship in the event of an emergency; and whether they are further satisfied that they have adequate storage tanks available to maintain that supply for a prolonged period?

The Admiralty are satisfied that adequate supplies of oil for the Royal Navy and adequate storage tanks are available in the event of an emergency.

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether, in view of the vulnerability of Wallsend-on-Tyne to air-attack, work has commenced on the provision of public shelters or, if not, to what extent plans are in the process of preparation?

I understand that the County Surveyor of Northumberland is surveying the position in Wallsend in consultation with the borough authorities and that general proposals are being framed and will shortly be put forward for the consideration of my Department.

asked the Secretary of State for Air when he can give an indication of the recommendations of the Committee on the Production of Civil Aircraft, and of the Government's attitude to them?

The report of this committee is being published to-day as a Command Paper and will be available early this evening. The Government accept in principle the recommendation contained in the report that a Civil Aviation Development Committee should be set up to co-ordinate the needs of air-line operators for new types of aircraft.

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the fact that Clause 4 of the Military Training Act provides, for the first time, for a medical examination of a comprehensive cross-section of the male age group 20–taking into account the results of the examinations conducted by the Ministry of National Service in 1917–n of 18 years of age in conjunction with the present lack of knowledge as to the health and physique of corresponding sections of the male population, he will consider arranging for the medical boards to elicit sufficient information from the examinees to enable the results to be classified according to occupational and economic status by adopting the Registrar-General's social classifications as employed in the Decennial Supplement for 1930– II (a), Occupational Mortality?

The records of the medical examinations of militiamen will yield valuable information as to the health and physique of men of different occupations in the 20– age group, but for technical reasons it will not be possible to classify the results in the way done the Decennial Supplement.

asked the Home Secretary whether it is proposed that men between the ages of 20 and 21 who are undergoing sentences of detention in Borstal institutions shall perform their compulsory period of service as militiamen during such period of detention; and, if so, will such period of compulsory service be reckoned as part of the sentence of detention or if the period of compulsory service as militiamen in the case of such men will be deferred until their sentence of detention has been completed?

As my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour explained in reply to a question by the hon. Member for the Combined English Universities (Mr. E. Harvey) on the 5th instant, persons undergoing detention in Borstal institutions who are liable to military training will not be called up for such training while they are serving the sentences imposed by the court. Such persons will, however, on being released from detention be liable to be called up for military training if the period of one year from the date of their registration has not expired at the time of their release. It is the duty of persons who have not registered while undergoing detention to register on their release, and they will be liable to be called up for training during the period of one year from the date of registration.

asked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements are made to ensure that British Army horses, no longer required for Army service, should not eventually be sold in Continental markets without guarantee against subsequent ill-treatment?

Horses no longer required for the Army, if passed as fit for sale by public auction, are sold in the open market with a sufficiently high reserve price to make it unprofitable for them to be bought for export.

asked the Secretary of State for War how many British Army horses have been purchased by or on behalf of the German Government during the past two years?

Particulars relating to the various Territorial detachments located in the Greenock area.

I regret that this information is not available.

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the last published report on the Health of the Army is that for 1936, published in March, 1938; and when the report for 1937 will be issued?

Yes, Sir. It is hoped to publish the report for 1937 in August next.

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider issuing to members of the Officers Emergency Reserve, who are affiliated to and carrying out training with anti-air- craft units of the Territorial Army, a badge similar to the Territorial Army badge?

The issue of a badge for the various Reserves is already being considered.

asked the Secretary of State for War, what was the establishment and the state of recruitment of each of the Territorial units in the Greenock area as at the last convenient date prior to the increase in the Territorial establishments; and what are the corresponding figures at the last convenient date?

Following is the answer:

asked the Secretary of State for War what was the number of applications for enlistment into the Territorial Army in Scotland, Renfrewshire and the Greenock area, respectively, during the period 1st February to 30th April, 1939; how many recruits were finally approved during the three months ended. 30th April, 1937, in these respective areas; and what were the corresponding figures for the years 1938 and 1939, respectively?

The number of applications in Scotland for enlistment into the Territorial Army during the period 1st February to 30th April, 1939, was 23,646. Separate figures for Renfrewshire and the Greenock area are not available.The numbers of recruits finally approved during the three months ended 30th April, 1937, in Scotland, Renfrew-shire and the Greenock area, were 2,701, no and 59, respectively. Comparable figures for the corresponding period in 1938 are 3,562, 166 and 75 respectively, and, for the corresponding period in 1939, 8,537, 246 and 115, respectively.

asked the Secretary of State for War (1) whether he will reconsider the existing conditions laid down for troops of anti-aircraft units embodied for 28 days, since under present conditions a man who is called out for 28 days training receives less pay and allowances proportionately than a man who goes for the usual voluntary fortnight's training, which will have an adverse effect upon recruiting for the anti-aircraft regiment if men, who are fully prepared to suffer financial hardship as well as inconvenience to promote the efficient defence of this country, find that the pay and allowances they receive are in fact on a lower grade compared with those of soldiers in other branches of the Territorial Army called out for a short period of service;(2) whether his attention has been called to the fact that the £5 embodiment bounty which is being paid to men of anti-aircraft units embodied for 28 days in lieu of the annual proficiency grant results in soldiers of these units receiving only £2 more than soldiers of Territorial units of the field Army who are carrying out their normal undertaking of a fort- night in camp; and whether he will consider paying the £5 bounty in addition to the £3 proficiency grant so that a man might send his family on holiday for a short period, since in many cases these men, called up for 28 days, are unable to obtain or to afford extra time from their normal employment to profit by the holidays with pay scheme in which the rest of their family would benefit?

The conditions of service of Territorial units called up under the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces Act, 1939, are those laid down for the embodiment of those forces. In some cases, they give certain advantages which are not applicable to Territorials doing their annual camp: though, on the other hand, certain camp allowances are not issuable in addition. While it is desired to make conditions under which the Territorial Army are serving as generous and popular as possible, there are obvious difficulties in the way of giving the benefits of both sets of regulations at the same time.In addition to the normal daily emoluments issuable in either case—(1) A Territorial officer receives, directly or indirectly:

asked the Home Secretary when he proposes to issue the Order in Council with reference to the London courts authorised in Section 9 (3) of the Summary Procedure Act, 1937?

My right hon. Friend is not at present in a position to make a statement on this point, but the matter is to be considered at an early date.

asked the Home Secretary how many cases of illegal immigration into this country have been brought to his notice during the past year; and what action he is taking?

In the 12 months ended 31st May, 1939, there were 108 cases where aliens were found to have entered the country without permission. All these people were prosecuted. In addition steps are being taken continuously to discover how irregular entries are effected and to provide the requisite checks.

asked the Home Secretary what has been the approximate cost to date of the increase in the Aliens Department consequent upon the additional work imposed by the refugee problem?

The approximate cost of the increase in staff in the Aliens Department since 1st March, 1938, is £9,000.

asked the Home Secretary whether the proportionate rise of approximately 30 per cent, in the first quarter of 1939 over the previous year's total of 2,158 aliens granted naturalisation is connected with the refugee exodus from German territory, and, if not, how this rise is accounted for, and if he estimates that it will persist?

Of the 783 certificates granted in the first three months of 1939, there were only 198 granted to persons of former German nationality and many of these were persons with long residence in this country. The total number of certificates granted in these three months was high because of steps which are being taken in my Department to reduce the accumulated arrears. Amongst the applicants for naturalisation there is always a large proportion of persons who have been in this country for long periods, and the number of applications is likely to be affected by the number of aliens resident in the country.

asked the Home Secretary whether he can make any further statement with regard to the Manchester conference on cardroom dust?

Certain preliminary investigations are now being made, and it is hoped to hold the proposed conference early in July.

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will state the average output per person employed in the Warwickshire coalfield each year from 1920 to 1938; how many persons were employed; and the average wages paid per person during the same period?

The information is as follows:

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will give the average number of persons employed in the coal mines of Warwickshire; and the number of conveyors and coal-cutting machines in operation, for each of the years 1929 to 1938?

The information is as follows:

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will give the total amount of coal mined in Warwickshire; and the amount of coal mined by machinery, for each of the 10 years from 1929 to 1938?

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will state the number of mines engaged in the production of coal, together with the numbers of persons employed in the Warwickshire coalfield, above and below ground, during the years 1920 to 1938; and, further, will he give the comparable figures for the whole British coalfield for the same periods above mentioned?

The information is as follows:

asked the Minister of Agriculture what was the number of persons engaged in agriculture in each of the counties of Wales, including Monmouthshire, in 1913, 1920, and 1938, respectively?

I regret that information is not available regarding the total numbers of persons engaged in agriculture in each county of Wales, including Monmouthshire, in the years mentioned, but the following statement gives the numbers of workers employed on agricultural holdings of over one acre in extent, excluding the occupiers themselves and domestic servants, in those counties in June, 1921, the first year for
