asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information with regard to the operations being carried out by the Wahabis against His Majesty the King of the Hedjaz; whether Mecca has been evacuated and what is the attitude of the British Government in connection with the trouble which has broken out in Arabia?

Secretary of State

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.
