asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to announce the army education plans for the coming years, in view of the disquieting reports on illiteracy, the paramount needs of trained manpower and the future intake at technical colleges and universities.
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.
