So far as the army is concerned I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for War on 26th November. I am sending him a copy. I regret that comparable figures for the Royal Navy are not available. I will, with permission, circulate details for the Royal Air Force in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
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.
