Android scrollview not filling parent view

Question

I have the following layout that contains a scrollview. After screen sizes greater than around 4.8" there is a white area at the bottom of the view. Why is this, when i have specified the scrollview to fill_parent?

Thanks in advance.

NB you can't see the white space below the menu on the screenshot below as it's white, sorry. There is a bout a n inch or 2 of space
