The
First Lord of the Treasury is the head of the
Government agency exercising the ancient office of
Lord High Treasurer in the
United Kingdom, usually but not always the
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Currently, it is held by
Gordon Brown.
Lords of the Treasury
Beginning in the
17th century, the
HM Treasury was frequently entrusted to a commission, rather than to a single individual, and after
1714, it was always in commission. The commissioners were referred to as
Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, and given a number based on seniority. Eventually, the
First Lord of the Treasury came to be seen as the natural head of any ministry, and, from Robert Walpole on, began to be known, unofficially, as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Indeed, the term Prime Minister was sometimes used in a derogatory way. 'Prime minister' was first used officially in a royal warrant in 1905.
Before 1827, the First Lord of the Treasury, when a commoner, also held the office of
Chancellor of the Exchequer, while if the First Lord was a peer, the Second Lord would usually serve as Chancellor. Since 1827, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has always been Second Lord of the Treasury when he has not also been the Prime Minister. By convention, the other Lords Commissioners of the Treasury are Government Whip (politics)s in the
British House of Commons.
Official residences
Contrary to popular belief,
10 Downing Street is the residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, not the prime minister. There is in fact no prime ministerial residence apart from
Chequers, a country house in
Buckinghamshire used as a weekend and holiday home; however, all modern prime ministers have simultaneously been First Lord of the Treasury, so 10 Downing Street has come to be identified closely with the premiership.
Similarly,
11 Downing Street is the residence of the
Second Lord of the Treasury, not the residence of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. As all chancellors since
1755 who were not themselves prime minister have also been Second Lord, people often wrongly presume that 11 Downing Street is the Chancellor's residence.
