| | Parliamentary Secretary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The position of parliamentary secretary existed in the Irish Free State and in 1978 was replaced by the office of Minister of State, in each case typically several such offices were assigned in a government. | | | In the United Kingdom, parliamentary secretaries (in full, usually parliamentary under-secretaries of state) are the third level of government minister; above them are ministers of state, and above those secretaries of state. | | | Parliamentary private secretaries (PPS) are rather different - they are members of parliament who act as unpaid assistants to individual ministers, but have no ministerial role despite being expected to support the government at all times. |
