Mr William Kelly
, Rochdale
asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether the strike inquiry committee, set up to inquire into matters connected with the dispute leading to the prolonged mill strike in Bombay last year, has now reported; and, if so, whether he will inform the House of the terms of the committee's findings and recommendations?
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.
