asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if His Majesty's Government will take the initiative and approach the Dominions with a proposal to send an economic mission, fully representative of all the Dominions, to Japan, China, Hong Kong, Malaya, the Philippines or Siam.
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.
