asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention was called to the trials of two disabled ex-service men, Mr. Holden and Mr. Sarll, on 10th January at the Central Criminal Court, and to the remarks of the Judge in each case; and whether he will consider steps by which such cases can be dealt with at the discretion of the Judge otherwise than by the usual criminal procedure?
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.
