Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 12 May 1924.
Mr John Wardlaw-Milne
, Kidderminster
(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State, for the Colonies whether he can give the House any further information regarding the serious disturbances said to have taken place in Northern Iraq, and whether, as a result of action taken by the authorities, order has now been restored?
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.
