asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, approximately, how many trained African nurses and doctors, respectively, and how many nursing trainees are working in West African Colonies at the present time.

Mr. Creech Jones:

I have asked the West African Governments for this information and will communicate with my hon. Friend when I receive it.

Will that include some comparison between now and previous years, and also prospective possibilities?

Mr. Creech Jones:

I will see if that can be done.

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.
