HC Deb 10 August 1916 vol 85 c1242W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Prime Minister, in view of the fact that the word Colony is avoided in references to the Dominions, whether the Government can see their way to an alteration of the present title of the Secretary of State for the Colonies so as to bring it more abreast of modern conditions?

The PRIME MINISTER

I see no reason for an alteration of the present title of Secretary of State for the Colonies, and have no evidence that any of the Dominions desire such a change.
