I am grateful to my hon. and gallant Friend for his suggestion, but I have no reason to suppose that the present staff organisation both at the Air Ministry and at the Training Command does not provide adequately for the supervision of the training of personnel in aerial navigation.

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.
