Mr Harry Day
, Southwark Central
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British representatives or commissioners have yet been appointed to the Chinese Customs Conference; if so, what are the names of the commissioners and the nature of the instructions given them; and if he could give an approximate date on which the Conference is likely to commence its sittings at Shanghai?
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.
