asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what legislation to increase the powers of the police has been proposed to the Legislative Council of Nyasaland; and what official announcements have been made with regard to action to be taken to deal with unrest in the territory.
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.
