– in the House of Commons at on 1 July 1935.
Mr John Remer
, Macclesfield
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention has been called to the treatment meted out to their clients by the Burnley Building Society; what action the Registrar of Friendly Societies proposes to take in the numerous cases to which his attention has been called; and, if the registrar has no adequate powers to deal with these cases whether he will introduce legislation to protect the interests of borrowers under building society schemes?
Captain Euan Wallace
, Hornsey
If my hon. Friend will send me particulars of the cases he has in mind, I shall be pleased to consult the registrar about them.
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.
