The (Parliamentary) Under-Secretary of State for Scotland is a junior ministerial post (of Parliamentary Under Secretary of State rank) in the United Kingdom government, supporting the Secretary of State for Scotland. The post was first established as the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health for Scotland in 1919, before becoming the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Scotland in 1926. Additional Parliamentary Under-Secretary posts were added in 1940 and 1951 and a Minister of State post was established in 1951. In 1969-70, one of the Under-Secretary posts was replaced by an additional Minister of State. From 1974 to 1979, there were two Ministers of State and three Under-Secretaries, reverting to one Minister of State in 1979. In 1997, the second Minister of State post was reinstated, and a fourth Under-Secretary post was briefly added from August 1998. Following devolution in 1999, the number of ministers was reduced. There is now only one Under-Secretary to support the Secretary of State, and no Minister of State. ==Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health for Scotland (1919-1926)== * 8 August 1919: John Pratt * 31 October 1922: James Kidd * 15 January 1923: Walter Elliott * 23 January 1924: James Stewart * 11 November 1924: Walter Elliot 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Under-Secretary of State for Scotland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
