HC Deb 15 July 1924 vol 176 c206
45. Mr. BARNES

asked the Prime Minister, in view of the Dominion status of many parts of the Empire, he will consider the advisability of describing the Secretary of State for the Colonies in future as the Secretary of State for the Dominions and Colonies?

The LORD PRIVY SEAL (Mr. Clynes)

The question of altering the title of Secretary of State for the Colonies has come under consideration from time to time during the last few years, but it has always been felt that there is no pressing need—nor indeed desire—for a change.
