asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development when building work will start on the new industrial estate for North Lanarkshire; when the first factory will be ready for occupation; and what estimate he has now made of the number of jobs to be provided within the foreseeable future.
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.
