asked the Secretary of State for War how many men are at present employed at Rose-bank House, Lockerbie, until recently used as an auxiliary military hospital, and which has been empty for the past month; what are their duties; and when these premises will be released for normal use.
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.
