asked the Secretary of State for Air what has been the total expenditure on airships since the suspension of flying operations in 1921; if the R.S5, R. 37, R.39, R.80, L.64, and L.71, then in existence, have been disposed of; and, if so, what money was received for them?
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.
