Secretary to the Treasury
In the United Kingdom , there are at 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.
