asked the Secretary of State for Air if he is aware that young medical officers, who are called up as soon as they are qualified, are posted to isolated camps, where they can get practically no clinical experience, and where there is little work of any kind for them to do; that often they remain in these posts for a year or more; and if he will see that, after the first six months, every medical conscript shall serve the rest of his time under conditions that will provide the necessary experience to enable him to fill a civilian post in his profession efficiently on his release.
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.
