– in the House of Commons at on 8 February 1940.
Mr. Graham White:
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Special Report on the workings of the Factories Act under the Defence Regulations is now available?
Sir John Anderson
, Combined Scottish Universities
The report is not yet completed but it will be issued as soon as possible.
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.
