Mr. Kitching was not deported to South Africa but went there voluntarily. He did not have to leave Swaziland till 30th June. He has not claimed political asylum. I do not think that the Secretary of State should direct the local Government to buy land unless they wish it. If the Swaziland National Council wish to acquire the land, I have no doubt that the Commissioner will give his approval.
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.
