HC Deb 21 March 1918 vol 104 c1210W
Sir J. D. REES

asked the Undersecretary of State to the Air Ministry why, in the titles of the Sovereign recited in the Proclamation regarding the name and style of the Royal Air Force, the title Emperor of India is omitted?

Major BAIRD

The use of the title of Emperor of India in official documents is governed by the terms of the Royal Proclamation of the 28th April, 1876, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
