Oral Answers to Questions — Royal Navy. – in the House of Commons at on 24 January 1940.
Mr Robert Morgan
, Stourbridge
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Commission which the late Governor of Kenya, Sir Robert Brooke-Popham, intended to appoint, to inquire into the long series of Customs frauds which have been perpetrated within the last few months in East Africa, has actually been set up; and, if not, whether it is still intended that such a commission should be appointed?
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.
