asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether in view of the fact that the labour ordinance in the Malayan Union and Singapore is now out of date, he will institute a redraft of this ordinance.

Mr. Creech Jones:

The Governors of the Malayan Union and Singapore already have this matter in hand.

Secretary of State

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.
