Mr Henry Snell
, Woolwich East
asked the Under-Secretary of State for India when he hopes to be in a position to announce the terms of reference and the full personnel of the Royal Commission to inquire into matters connected with Indian labour?
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.
