Will the Secretary of State for War take advantage of the presence in this country of Senora Peron to bring to her notice this very distressing case, in which event I hope he will have more success than the Foreign Secretary had with Mr. Stalin concerning the British wives in Moscow?
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.
