asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development if he will meet an official delegation from the Federation of Industrial Development Associations to discuss industrial development in areas that have not received adequate consideration by his Department.
Mr Edward Heath
, Bexley

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.
