asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been called to the decision of the German Government to order two armed police aeroplanes contrary to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles; and what steps he is taking to make it clear that no rearmament of Germany by unilateral action in a breach of treaty will under any circumstances be permitted?
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.
