English term or phrase: Secretary of State
יש לי התלבטות לגבי תירגום של המונח the Secretary of State מתוך חוק אנגלי: מזכיר המדינה, או השר הממונה?

המשפט הינו:

Where the Secretary of State proposes to exercise any
such power as is mentioned in the preceding subsection so as
to give effect to any such proposals as are there mentioned
with modifications, he shall, before making the regulations,
consult the Commission.
