asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many children, being persons under the age of 17, were remanded to prison instead of remand homes and remand centres during the period 1st January to 30th April, 1964.
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.
