In 1782, following the loss of the American colonies, the office was abolished, and its duties given to the Home Secretary. From there it passed to the War Office, which was later renamed the War and Colonial Office. In 1854 this office was split, and the Colonial Office reestablished.[1] Parliamentary Under-Secretaries of State for the Colonies, 1854–1966For earlier office-holders see Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies.
