Will the Secretary of State keep a much more open mind on this subject than he has done hitherto? I do not say that in a derogatory sense. However, clear evidence is now emerging that more and more drivers are being convicted after having taken drugs which they were unaware would affect them when driving. The motoring organisations are very concerned about this development.
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.
