Oral Answers to Questions — League of Nations. – in the House of Commons at on 9 December 1920.
Mr Aneurin Williams
, Consett
asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made by the League of Nations in collecting the sum of £2,000,000 to conduct the campaign against typhus in Poland, and also the sum of £250,000 required for immediate use in that campaign; and what exactly is the relation between the larger and the, smaller of those funds?
Mr. HARMSWORTH:
I understand that the appeal made by the Council of the League of Nations has not met with the success that was anticipated, and that the whole question is still under consideration by the Assembly at Geneva.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
