asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can make any statement about the reported attacks on Mecca by the Wahabis; whether any assistance, direct or indirect, is being given to the Government of the Hedjaz by His Majesty's Government, the Government of Iraq or the Egyptian Government; and whether there is a British representative at the Court of Ibn Saud?
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.
