, Manchester Moss Side
asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now able to state whether or no the Signal Service training centre will remain permanently at Maresfield: and, if so, whether he will have inquiries made as to the need to improve the accommodation there forthwith?

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.
