Oral Answers to Questions — India. – in the House of Commons at on 11 March 1929.
Mr Harry Day
, Southwark Central
asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the views of the Government of India on the Report of the Hilton Young Commission have been received; and can he say whether any decision has been arrived at with regard to any future changes in East Africa?
Viscount Turnour
, Horsham and Worthing
The views of the Government of India are still awaited. The second part of the question should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Mr Harry Day
, Southwark Central
Will the Noble Lord say when he hopes to have a reply?
Viscount Turnour
, Horsham and Worthing
No, Sir. I cannot give the hon. Member any indication as to when the report will be received, but I should imagine it will be fairly shortly.
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.
