Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 10 March 1943.
Mr Morgan Price
, Forest of Dean
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any discussions have taken place between the United Nations for the purpose of deciding under what law and in what courts of law persons of Axis nationality, who are accused of war crimes, will be tried?
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.
