Is not the right hon. and learned Gentleman aware that the answer lies in having the nerve to accept the Labour Party's policy of taking building land into public ownership? If he will not do that, will he be good enough to talk to his noble Friend the Secretary of State for Defence and find out how much land he can release in many of the London boroughs? Does he accept that that is a way of trying to deal with the grievous problem of homelessness as well as the massive housing problem?

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.
