asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that notice to quit has been served upon approximately 60 ex-Service men's families occupying married quarters at Queen Mary's Buildings, Stillington Street, London, S.W.I; and if he will assure these tenants that alternative accommodation will be found for them before eviction takes place.
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.
