Was not the right hon. Gentleman's Parliamentary Secretary wrong when he said no such Order was issued in 1920?

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.
