Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 8 February 1944.
Mr George Strauss
, Lambeth North
asked the Secretary of State for War whether any units of Allied national Armies, who surrendered in Tunisia after fighting under Rommel, have now been transferred to their respective Allied Armies in this country; and whether any steps have been taken to counteract the Fascist outlook with which they have been imbued during their service with the Germans.
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.
