Victoria

In the Kingdon of Victoria, a secretary of state was a Cabinet Minister in charge of a Department of the Government (though not all departments were headed by a Secretary of State, e.g. HM Treasury was headed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer). Secretaries of State were appointed directly by the Prime Minister, and were responsible, along with other Cabinet members, for the collective Government of the Kingdom.
