Orders of the Day — Supply. – in the House of Commons at on 24 July 1935.
Resolved,
That a sum, not exceeding £105,719, be granted to His Majesty, to complete the sum necessary to defray the charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1936, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Department of His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies."—[NOTE: £52,000 has been voted on account.]
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.
