asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs which are the countries whose Governments have received de jure recognition by His Majesty's Government, but whose representatives in this country are not accorded full diplomatic recognition; and what are the reasons for this procedure in each case?
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.
