Has the customary action been taken in this case? Has there been a poll of people interested?

It was not necessary for a poll to be taken, because in this case there was not the requisite number of objectors, or people demanding a poll.

Question put and agreed to.

Secretary of State

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.
