asked the Minister of Works the home prices per ton for 1934,

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what foodstuffs his Department is selling abroad during the present financial year.

Sugar, meat and small quantities of milk products.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will draw the attention of farmers to the necessity for including appropriate guards on dangerous machinery in order to minimise the number of accidents involving farm machinery and equipment.

My Department has issued a free leaflet on the prevention of accidents with agricultural machinery, which describes how it should be guarded. I welcome this opportunity of drawing attention to the leaflet. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is

The following are the figures:aware of the growing number of fires caused by infra-red lamps used in connection with pigs and poultry which are often installed in an unsatisfactory manner by unskilled people; and if he will issue a pamphlet to farmers stressing the importance of properly installing these lamps at such a height that they will not ignite litter or allow pigs to come into contact with them and possibly to break them.

The dangers of inexpert installation of infra-red lamps are referred to in a leaflet of which I am sending a copy to my hon. Friend. A leaflet in preparation on the prevention of fire on farms will also include suitable references.

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he can issue a memorial scroll to the family of Flying Officer Duncan who lost his life in a skirmish between the Trucial Oman levies and disaffected natives in November, 1953.

I am sorry there is no memorial scroll that could be issued. From time to time authority has been given for the isue of memorial scrolls in particular designs, the most recent being for those who died in the Second World War or in Korea, but no scroll has been approved in respect of later operations.I am, however, glad to have this opportunity to pay tribute to the gallantry of Flying Officer Duncan, a young medical officer of the Royal Air Force, and of his companion Major Thwaites, who were murdered while attempting to arrest three mutinous native soldiers.

asked the Postmaster-General when he expects to be able to provide a telephone kiosk at West Woodhay, for which the Hungerford Rural District Council have asked.

We could not provide this kiosk because no spare wires were available but we installed one at Holt Road, Kintbury, about a mile away. If the Council feel that one is still needed at West Woodhay I suggest that it should ask the Rural District Councils' Association to include it in next year's programme.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware that the National Farmers' Union have objected to the general alignment of the Medway by-pass as proposed in the Kent Development Plan; and if he will make sure that the Union is consulted concerning the route of any future important new by-passes.

I am aware of the objection made by the Kent Branch of the National Farmers' Union, and my Department is still in consultation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food about the agricultural interests affected. Such consultations are a part of the normal procedure. In addition, my Department, in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, are discussing with the headquarters of the National Farmers' Union and Country Landowners Association the broad effects on agricultural interests of the motorways included in the programme which I announced on 2nd February.

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what steps have been taken by him in consultation with other Ministers concerned since 1st March last to solve the problem created by the impracticability of enforcing the 20-miles-per-hour speed limit for heavy goods vehicles; and whether he will now make a statement.

I have nothing to say at the moment. I am in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour.
