Mr Wilfred Wellock
, Stourbridge
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on the points of dispute between His Majesty's Government and the Government of Iraq and on the possibility of the deadlock in the negotiations being overcome?
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.
