Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 11 March 1935.
Sir Patrick Hannon
, Birmingham Moseley
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is in a position to make a statement on the concentration of Turkish troops on the Bulgarian frontier; and if any representations in the interests of the maintenance of peace are being made through the League of Nations or otherwise?
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.
