How many more excuses will the Government trot out before they deal with the Spanish problem? The Secretary of State was very scornful just now about my hon.

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.
