asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many Jewish terrorists have been brought to trial in Palestine in 1946 and 1947; how many have been convicted; and what action has been taken on the sentences of those convicted.
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.
