asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) in how many divisions of the Metropolitan Police parts of the new City of Westminster will be included;
(2) what steps he is taking to bring the Metropolitan Police divisions into line with the new local government and petty sessional areas.
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.
