Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 11 March 1929.
Sir William Davison
, Kensington South
asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what was the total acreage of Irish land provided by Great Britain for Irish sailors and soldiers who fought in the great war under the Irish Land (Provision for Sailors and Soldiers) Act, 1919, in the Irish Free State and in Northern Ireland, respectively; and what is the total number of ex-service men provided with holdings in each of the above areas?
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.
