The Public Accounts Committee has warned that

“deterrence can only be effective if our Armed Forces are credible.”

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.
