Mr Morgan Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can state what progress has been made in the conciliation proceedings between Italy and Abyssinia; whether they are now meeting; and whether His Majesty's Government has or will have an observer at the meetings of the Commission?
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.
