I have read threads on site to try to resolve this issue but nothing was found that I have not tried where it still does not work.
I am having a little trouble getting the scrollbar to show for my widgets. I have 2 scrollbars that have been written the same way for a Listbox and Text widget in another window and show and function perfectly but in this window the 2 scrollbars written will not display.
I have the code the same as the other functioning scrollbars in the other window but for some reason these 2 are not displaying.
They are placed at ingred and instruc
Some advice would be appreciated.
Code:

You forgot to tell Scrollbar() about its master, so it naturally assumes it's root window. Do:
yscroll = Scrollbar(window_3, ... etc.
By the way, both ingred and instruct are associated with the same scrollbar: yscroll but I gather its just from cutting and pasting code. Also you define StringVar() instances with the same name as the text widgets.

I am building a simple UI using Tkinter and running into a problem when adding scrollbars. The layout of my UI (as shown below) consists of 5 frames, with one frame having 3 sub-frames. I am trying to add scrollbars to each frame and the sub-frames, however when I add the last scroll-bar to the sub-frame, all of the frames become smaller than their designated size. This only occurs when the final scrollbar is added.
Code:

notebook = ttk.Notebook(root)

Is there a way to prevent every frame from becoming smaller after adding the scrollbars?
There's a number of problems in your code. Rather than try to fix them, I think you should cheat and use the code from someone who has abstracted this. There are many people who have made a scrolledframe in some form, including me. To use mine, download the DoubleScrolledFrame.py file from here and then:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
from DoubleScrolledFrame import DoubleScrolledFrame
def add_scrolled_frame(notebook, text):
"""do this in a function so that you can easily change parameters"""
frame = DoubleScrolledFrame(notebook, width = 900, height = 600)
notebook.add(frame, text = text)
return frame
root = tk.Tk()
notebook = ttk.Notebook(root)
frame1 = tk.Frame(root)
notebook.add(frame1, text = 'Frame 1')
frame2 = add_scrolled_frame(notebook, text = 'Frame 2')
frame3 = add_scrolled_frame(notebook, text = 'Frame 3')
frame4 = add_scrolled_frame(notebook, text = 'Frame 4')
frame5 = add_scrolled_frame(notebook, text = 'Frame 5')
notebook.pack()
notebook2 = ttk.Notebook(frame1)
tab1 = add_scrolled_frame(notebook2, text = 'Tab 1')
tab2 = add_scrolled_frame(notebook2, text = 'Tab 2')
tab3 = add_scrolled_frame(notebook2, text = 'Tab 3')
notebook2.pack()
# assuming you want widgets in these frames:
for i in range(30):
lbl = tk.Label(tab1, text=f'This is label number {i}')
lbl.pack()
root.mainloop()
I have been trying to get .place_forget() to work in my test application but I am having some difficulty.
I am trying to get the widgets in "def select_1:" to show when R1 "Yes" checkbox is checked and then have the widgets not show when the check is removed.
The widgets show when I check the box but will not forget(hide) when it is then unchecked.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

When you want to make a widget disappear and then appear again, you don't actually have to define it and all it's options again.
#=========================== CHECK BUTTON SELECTION ============================
pass_entry = Entry(root, width = 20, textvariable = pass_1, bg='#000000', fg='#B3CDE0')
selection = Label(root, text='Enter OS Password:', bg='#000000', fg='#B3CDE0')

elif var1.get()==0:
pass_entry.place_forget()
selection.place_forget()
else:
return
Notice how pass_entry and selection are defined outside of the function and only placed inside the function.
What's a bit confusing though is why you're using two separate buttons for "yes" and "no" if checking them doesn't automatically uncheck the other one (i assume that's the purpose of the two buttons).
If that's what you want to do, you should use the Radiobutton widget instead. Notice how both of them affect the same variable and each of them have one value.
#=============================== RADIO BUTTONS =================================
R1 = Radiobutton(root, text="Yes", variable = var1, value = 1, height=1, width = 15, activebackground = '#000000', bg='#000000', fg='#B3CDE0', command=select_1)
R1.place(x=350,y=250)
R2 = Radiobutton(root, text="No", variable = var1, value = 0, height=1, width = 15, activebackground = '#000000', bg='#000000', fg='#B3CDE0', command=select_1)
R2.place(x=350,y=275)
I also tidied up the other options a bit too, you had some random spacing in there.

I have come across an issue with using the tkinter message box, when a user of my application presses the English flag and then goes to Log-out in the top right hand corner a message box appears but also another box appears with the window title 'tk', I have not made or called any such window so my theory is that the window is coming from some place with the message box or maybe its something I have mistakenly done in my code which I cant see.

Apologies for it being so long but to actually see the problem you have to have all the code. Any help or fixies would be great.
Now there are several issues with your code and some I will address.
First off what you are trying to do is very complicated when using a Non-OOP method. I have re-written your code as OOP to provide some ease of use and readability.
For the most part you should avoid using global the easiest way to do this is to use class attributes instead. This allows for you to have a variable that can be seen by any method within the class.
Some helpful tips:
Do not import tkinter twice.
Instead of doing:
import tkinter
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox as box
Do this instead:
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import messagebox
Your Try/Except function will not work as you expect as Eng_window.destroy() will not return an error regardless of if the window is there or not. So it will always attempt to destroy Eng_window and never window
Instead do this:
# This will check if the instance of Eng_self_window exist first.
if tk.Toplevel.winfo_exists(self.Eng_self_window):
self.Eng_self_window.destroy()
else:
self.window.destroy()
Let me know if you have any questions on the class set up.
It can be done using global's but its not as clean and harder to deal with.
Here I have moved your code into a class and rearranged some stuff.

Quick fix; Don't use multiple instances of Tk. Instead, use Toplevel and hide & show the root window. Add:
...
Background_Colour = 'Light blue'
root = Tk()
root.withdraw()
...
and replace:
...
if response == 'yes':
try:
window.destroy()
except:
Eng_window.destroy()
...
global window
window = Tk()
...
global Eng_window
Eng_window = Tk()
with:
...
if response == 'yes':
root.destroy()
...
global window
window = Toplevel()
...
global Eng_window
Eng_window = Toplevel()

# FRAME 1
frame1 = Frame(root, borderwidth = 2, background = '#EFE0CD', relief = RIDGE,width = 25, height = 20)
frame1.bind("<Button-1>", mouse_click)
frame1.grid(column = 0, row = 0, columnspan = 2, rowspan = 3, sticky = N+S+E+W)
frame1_lbl = Label(frame1, text='Frame 1', font='comic-sans-MS 10 ', fg ='red', bg = '#EFE0CD')
frame1_lbl.grid(row=0, column =0)
# FRAME 2
frame2 = Frame(root, borderwidth = 2, background = '#CCC6B0', relief = RIDGE,width = 25, height = 20)
frame2.bind("<Button-1>", mouse_click)
frame2.grid(column = 0, row = 3, columnspan = 2, rowspan = 3, sticky = N+S+E+W)
frame2_lbl = Label(frame2, text='Frame 2', font='comic-sans-MS 10', fg ='red', bg = '#CCC6B0')
frame2_lbl.grid(row=0, column =0,)
root.mainloop()
I know that this is a really dumb question. How do I identify the Frame in which the mouse is clicked so that report prints clicked frame1 or frame2 at x y coordinates?. I found a bit about using winfo_parent but have obviously not used it properly.
Thank you
The event object that is passed in to the callback has a widget attribute which is a reference to the widget that got the event. So, event.widget is what you want to print.
