asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what arrangements are made for the maintenance in Germany of wives of prisoners of war held in this country and the Middle East.
Mr Christopher Mayhew

Mr Evelyn King
, Penryn and Falmouth

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.
