Mr. THOMAS:
I understand that, under the provisions of the Southern Rhodesia Game and Fish Preservation Act, 1929, the Governor of Southern Rhodesia issued a proclamation on the 27th April, 1934, defining an area in the south-east portion of Southern Rhodesia, within which the hunting of game, without the special permission in writing of the Minister, is prohibited. To that extent, therefore, the area in question, which lies to the north of the Kruger National Park and adjoins it at one point, may be regarded as a game reserve.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
