asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air what steps his Department, take to prevent the erection of overhead electricity cables within one mile of any military aerodrome in this country; under what Acts such action is taken; and in how many cases schemes for the erection of such lines have had to be abandoned during the past five years on account of such refusal?
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.
