Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 13 March 1929.
Mr Carlyon Bellairs
, Maidstone
asked the Secretary of State for Air if he will state what was the expenditure of the United States on Army and Navy Air Forces for 1928–29; and what is the amount submitted for 1929–30?
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.
