I presume that my hon. Friend means British Government employ, in which case the answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; no communications of any nature have, so far as can be traced, been received by any Government Department from Mrs. Harrison.

Secretary of State

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.
