I am not aware that I have withdrawn any Question. May I ask for information on this? I understand from the reply of the Secretary of State that he is not yet in a position to reply to my letter. I am referring to a letter which I sent on the 3rd February. Is it not reasonable to expect a reply to that letter by now?
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.
