My right hon. Friend has no information on this subject. If, however, any serious inconvenience of the kind referred to by my hon. Friend had been experienced by British interests, I have no doubt that it would have been brought to his attention.

Can special inquiries be made into the questions which have been asked about this district?

I will certainly consider that question, but I am confident that His Majesty's Ambassador would send us information if there was any need to do so.

Secretary of State

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.
