asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the amount of grants made, or about to be made, from the Colonial Welfare and Development Fund in respect of West African Colonies otherwise than on administrative or other large buildings; and what percentage this represents.
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.
