asked the Prime Minister what machinery exists for coordinating the activities of the Foreign Secretary and the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development with regard to Great Britain's relations with the Common Market.
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.
