I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for War a question of which I have given notice, both public and private. It is with regard to the soldier Wood who was imprisoned and lost his stripes for not attending Church Parade.
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.
