The Lord Privy Seal

Premier Baldwin, answering a question in the House of Commons, defined the position of Lord Robert Cecil, Lord Privy Seal, in the Cabinet. He said that Lord Robert represented the Government in the Council of the League of Nations as Lord Balfour had done, but was not a "Minister of the League" in the British Cabinet. He added that questions relating to the League should continue to be addressed to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
