asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is yet in a position to state the names of the members of the Jewish Agency referred to in code in telegram No. 2, page 4 of Cmd. 6873, relating to acts of violence in Palestine.
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.
