Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 24 March 1943.
Mr Frederick Montague
, Islington West
(by Private Notice) asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can now make any further statement about the relationship between the British Overseas Airways Corporation and the Royal Air Force Transport Command?
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.
