I have been asked to answer this question. I regret that it is not possible to summarise the legislation within the limits of a reply to a Parliamentary question, but I will forward copies of the relevant provisions to my hon. and gallant Friend.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
