§ Sir H. Fildesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will give the production in Scotland of lime for agricultural purposes for the years 1943 and 1942, respectively; and whether there is any increase in lime production in the county of Dumfries for the period in question.

Mr. JohnstonThe production of lime in Scotland for agricultural purposes for the twelve months ending June, 1942, 1943 and 1944 was 110,000, 290,000, and 365,000 tons respectively. I regret that I cannot give figures for the production for agricultural purposes in the County of Dumfries, but I can say that deliveries in the county for the years ending June, 1943 and 1944 were 22,239 and 31,056 tons respectively.
