Sir Frederick Penny
, Kingston upon Thames
asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the resentment felt in the Malay States at the refusal to allow a military parade and church service to be held at Kuala Lumpur on Armistice Day similar to that permitted in Singapore; and whether he will see that permission is granted in future to the Malay States to give public expression to the memory of those who gave their lives for the Empire in the Great War in a similar manner to that given in Singapore?

I have no information, but will ask the High Commissioner for a report.
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.
