Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 20 February 1940.
Mr Robert Gibson
, Greenock
asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give an assurance that all soldiers mobilised and serving at home are suitably supplied with blankets?
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.
