Can my right hon. Friend also say whether the ex-Service personnel who went to settle in Kenya after the Second World War are now more or less happy about the situation?

Secretary of State

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.
