asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development how many applications have been received by his Department for expansion or development in Scotland since the 1963 Budget measures became effective in July, 1963; and how many of these applications have been approved.
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.
