Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 18 March 1929.
Mr Wilfred Wellock
, Stourbridge
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the findings of the Committee of Experts which has been inquiring into the coal question; what procedure is to be adopted with respect to this Report; and when is it expected the matter will come up for discussion in the Council of the League of Nations?
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.
