In the light of the statement last week by the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, what is the policy of the hon. Lady's Ministry concerning Government offices in 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.
