Mr Daniel Lipson
, Cheltenham
asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has taken steps to increase the military training of members of the Royal Army Pay Corps, and other non-combatant services, to enable them to be prepared to defend themselves against attack in the event of the need arising?
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.
