Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 4 March 1929.
Mr Rennie Smith
, Penistone
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number of children of school age in Northern Nigeria; and if he can furnish particulars of the number who are receiving some education?
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.
