Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Unemployment. – in the House of Commons at on 5 March 1935.
Mr. STANLEY:
Schemes involving expenditure of approximately £600,000 by the Commissioner for England and Wales have already been approved, subject in some instances to settlement of all the details, and other schemes which would entail a large increase on this expenditure are under active consideration. As regards schemes in Scotland perhaps my hon. Friend will address a question to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
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.
