Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 29 April 1929.
Colonel Victor Cazalet
, Chippenham
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any decision has yet been taken in regard to the conditions governing the West African Colonial Service; and whether it is proposed to make any alteration in the 18 months' tour?
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.
