Chancellor of the Exchequer
Chancellor of the Exchequer ( English Chancellor of the Exchequer ) is the name for the British government member who the HM Treasury conducts (the Finance and Economy Ministry). Since he is assigned an area of responsibility which in other systems of government are usually assumed by a finance minister and an economics minister , the Chancellor of the Exchequer is usually regarded as the second most important member of government after the prime minister . The Chancellor of the Exchequer has always been Second Lord of the Treasury since 1827 - except in those cases in which the Prime Minister (who is the First Lord of the Treasury ) also assumes the office of Chancellor of the Treasury. As a member of the cabinet, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is also a member of the Privy Council .
As the Second Lord of the Treasury , the Chancellor of the Exchequer officially resides at 11 Downing Street .
