From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United Kingdom, there are five Secretaries to the Treasury, officials officially acting as secretaries to the Treasury board. The origins of the office are unclear, although it probably originated during Lord Burghley's tenure as Lord Treasurer in the 16th century. The number of secretaries was expanded to two by 1714 at the latest.
One of the present-day secretaries, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury, commonly known as the Patronage Secretary, is the Government Chief Whip in the House of Commons. This is because the Chief Whip is a political appointment rather than a government one, so the holder of the position is also required to hold a government post in order to sit in cabinet. The Permanent Secretary to the Treasury, is not a minister but is the senior Treasury civil servant. The remaining three secretaries and actually attend to Treasury business.
The Chancellor is the most senior treasury secretary[citation needed] followed by Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Economic Secretary to the Treasury and Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury. However the Prime Minister remains First Lord of the Treasury, and this is the official title on the door to 10 Downing Street.
