[[Image:Gordon Brown Photo.jpg|thumb|The Right Honourable Gordon Brown, PC, MP, current Chancellor of the Exchequer]]The Chancellor of the Exchequer is the ancient title held by the British cabinet minister whose responsibilities are akin to the posts of ''Minister for Finance'' or ''Secretary of the Treasury'' in other jurisdictions. The third oldest major state office in English and United Kingdom history, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, (often simply called ''The Chancellor'') is the cabinet minister responsible for all financial matters. Historically the Exchequer included monetary policy as well as fiscal policy, but this ended when the Bank of England was granted independence from government in 1997. The office should not be confused with that of the Lord Chancellor or the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. The position of Chancellor of the Exchequer is considered one of the four great offices of state. One of the Chancellor's key roles involves the framing of the annual "Budget", which is revealed in a speech to the United Kingdom House of Commons. Traditionally the budget speech was delivered on a Tuesday (although not always) in March, as Britain's ''tax year'' follows the Julian Calendar. From 1993 the Budget was preceded by an annual 'Autumn Statement' which forecasts government spending in the next year and takes place in November. This preview of the next year's Budget is also referred to as the "mini-Budget". The 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2003 Budgets were delivered on a Wednesday. The holder of the office of Chancellor is ''ex-officio'' Second Lord of the Treasury. As Second Lord, his official residence is Number 11 Downing Street in London, next door to the residence of the First Lord of the Treasury (a post usually though not always held by the British Prime Minister), who resides in 10 Downing Street. While in the past both houses were private residences, today they serve as interlinked offices, with the occupant living in a small apartment made from attic rooms previously resided in by servants. In 1997, the current First and Second Lords, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown respectively, swapped apartments, as the Chancellor's apartment in No. 11 was bigger and thus better suited to the needs of Blair (who had children) than Brown who was at that stage unmarried. So though No. 11 is still ''officially'' Brown's residence, he actually resides in the apartment in the attic of No. 10, and Blair — though ''officially'' residing in No. 10 — actually lives in the attic apartment of No. 11. The Chancellor is also obliged to be a member of the Privy Council, and thus is Style (manner of address) the Right Honourable (Rt. Hon.) The Chancellor's department is officially called the HM Treasury where she/he is supported by a political team of four junior ministers and by permanent Civil Servants. The most important junior minister is the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to whom the negotiations with other government departments on the details of government spending are delegated. ===List of Holders of the Office since 1559=== ''Several Chancellors were also Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for some or all of their Chancellorship.

Goodnight User:Mintguy 22:43 Feb 6, 2003 (UTC) ----- Hm. Some of the stuff in here should perhaps be moved to Exchequer. --User:Maveric149 21:14 13 Jul 2003 (UTC) :Um... Exchequer is an archaic term that derives its name from a piece of chequered cloth that was once used to count money. The government department is acutally called 'the Treasury' or 'HM Treasury', only rarely called the Exchequer. User:Mintguy ::What about other countries, though? User:Deb 21:24 13 Jul 2003 (UTC) :::I don't know about other countries, but I was just wondering whether it is really correct to say, as the article currently does, "... the Chancellor of the Exchequer ... who heads the Exchequer" ::Yeah, that's why I just redirected it to Chancellor of the Exchequer at first. But I guess the Exchequer article could talk about the original term some more. User:Adam Bishop 21:25 13 Jul 2003 (UTC) I've done a rewrite to correct info (the Budget no longer takes place in March. Until a couple of years ago both Britain and Ireland used the Julian Calendar to run the tax year. That was only recently changed meaning that both counties moved their Budget dates from January (IRL) and April (UK) to November. Also some other info, including explaining what the C of the E is the equivalent of in other states. User:Jtdirl 22:31 13 Jul 2003 (UTC) The tax year end still ends on April 5. It used to be 25 of March till the changeover of calendars, when people complained about having to pay a full years tax for a year less 11 days. User:Mintguy 01:33 14 Jul 2003 (UTC) ---- Third oldest office? Certainly Lord Chancellor and Lord Privy Seal are older, but I'd think others are as well...anyone know where that bit came from? User:John Kenney 05:59, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC) ==Robe of office== I recall there's a robe that the Chancellor wore on formal occasions, though by Snowden/Churchill's time this was just once a year to oversee the appointment of some magistrates. Anyone know when this was abolished altogether, along with the function. Also am I right that this is the robe (as worn by Lord North)? User:Timrollpickering 18:00, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Goodnight User:Mintguy 22:43 Feb 6, 2003 (UTC) ----- Hm. Some of the stuff in here should perhaps be moved to Exchequer. --User:Maveric149 21:14 13 Jul 2003 (UTC) :Um... Exchequer is an archaic term that derives its name from a piece of chequered cloth that was once used to count money. The government department is acutally called 'the Treasury' or 'HM Treasury', only rarely called the Exchequer. User:Mintguy ::What about other countries, though? User:Deb 21:24 13 Jul 2003 (UTC) :::I don't know about other countries, but I was just wondering whether it is really correct to say, as the article currently does, "... the Chancellor of the Exchequer ... who heads the Exchequer" ::Yeah, that's why I just redirected it to Chancellor of the Exchequer at first. But I guess the Exchequer article could talk about the original term some more. User:Adam Bishop 21:25 13 Jul 2003 (UTC) I've done a rewrite to correct info (the Budget no longer takes place in March. Until a couple of years ago both Britain and Ireland used the Julian Calendar to run the tax year. That was only recently changed meaning that both counties moved their Budget dates from January (IRL) and April (UK) to November. Also some other info, including explaining what the C of the E is the equivalent of in other states. User:Jtdirl 22:31 13 Jul 2003 (UTC) The tax year end still ends on April 5. It used to be 25 of March till the changeover of calendars, when people complained about having to pay a full years tax for a year less 11 days. User:Mintguy 01:33 14 Jul 2003 (UTC) ---- Third oldest office? Certainly Lord Chancellor and Lord Privy Seal are older, but I'd think others are as well...anyone know where that bit came from? User:John Kenney 05:59, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC) ==Robe of office== I recall there's a robe that the Chancellor wore on formal occasions, though by Snowden/Churchill's time this was just once a year to oversee the appointment of some magistrates. Anyone know when this was abolished altogether, along with the function. Also am I right that this is the robe (as worn by Lord North)? User:Timrollpickering 18:00, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
