Alert me about debates like this

Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchison:

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the supply of British daily newspapers to B.A.O.R. is both irregular and inadequate; and if he will take steps to improve the arrangements for the distribution of British newspapers to units in Germany.

Every effort is made to send a regular and sufficient supply of British daily newspapers to the Rhine Army, and I am not aware that the existing arrangements are unsatisfactory.

Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchison:

If I bring some cases to the hon. Gentleman's attention, where the arrangements are not satisfactory, will he look into the matter?

Yes, Sir.

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.
