Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 10 December 1941.
Mr Frederick Cocks
, Broxtowe
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to make a statement on the relations between His Majesty's Government and the Governments of Finland, Hungary and Rumania?
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.
