Alert me about debates like this

Mr. L'ESTRANGE MALONE:

15.

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the vacant portfolios in the Government of Iraq have yet been filled?

Mr. WOOD:

The post of Minister of Public Works has been filled. Whether the other vacant offices have been filled or not has not been reported by the High Commissioner.

Mr. MALONE:

Are these Ministers nominated by the British representative, and have they to contest a bye-election as in this country?

Mr. WOOD:

I cannot answer as to bye-elections. With regard to the first part of the question, Ministers are selected by His Majesty King Feisal.
