asked the Secretary of State for War why leave has not been granted to men in Group 63 stationed in Singapore though it has to Groups 61 and 62 and is to be to Group 64; and if he will remove this anomaly.
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.
