The government has committed £301 million to support high street regeneration and will publish the High Streets Strategy later this year.
We will continue to work with local government, businesses and communities to inform the strategy and will announce more details in due course.
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.
