First Lord of the Treasury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1076 words)
The First Lord of the Treasury is the head of the commission exercising the ancient office of Lord High Treasurer in the United Kingdom, usually but not always the Prime Minister. 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. Similarly, 11 Downing Street is the residence of the Second Lord of the Treasury, not the residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; given that 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.
