Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am ar 6 Hydref 1931.
Mr Harry Day
, Southwark Central
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the investigation held by the Disciplinary Board of the Metropolitan Police into the charges in which one inspector and 23 constables were suspended from duty last July, pending investigation for alleged corrupt dealing with bookmakers and street traders, has now been finally completed; and can he give the results?
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.
