It is nominally the fifth most significant ministerial role within the Treasury after the [[first lord of the Treasury]], the [[chancellor of the Exchequer]], the [[chief secretary to the Treasury]], and the [[paymaster general]]. However, the role of First Lord of the Treasury is always held by the prime minister who is not a Treasury minister, and the position of Paymaster General is a sinecure often held by the [[Minister for the Cabinet Office]] to allow the holder of that office to draw a government salary. In practice it is, therefore, the third most senior Treasury minister and has attended [[Cabinet (government)|Cabinet]] in the past. The current holder of the position is [[Spencer Livermore, Baron Livermore|Lord Livermore]], who was appointed by Prime Minister [[Keir Starmer]] following the Labour Party’s victory in the 2024 General Election.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/08/emily-thornberry-sorry-and-surprised-not-to-be-given-cabinet-role-by-starmer |title=The Guardian |access-date=8 July 2024 |last1=Elgot |first1=Jessica }}</ref> The position is shadowed by the [[Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury|shadow financial secretary to the treasury]]. ==History== The role of Financial Secretary to the Treasury was created in 1711 and was known as the Junior [[Secretary to the Treasury]] to help deal with the increasing workload of the [[Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury|Senior Secretary to the Treasury]]. The first Junior Secretary to the Treasury is recorded as [[Thomas Harley (of Kinsham)|Thomas Harley]] who was appointed on 11 June 1711. The position has continued without any major interruption to the present day. Initially when the position of Senior Secretary to the Treasury became vacant not as the result of an election of change of government the Junior Secretary was usually automatically promoted to the senior role. Over time however, the roles of the Senior and Junior Secretaries began to diverge with the Senior Secretary post being used as a [[sinecure]] post for the [[Chief Whip]], with no formal responsibilities to the Treasury. The Junior Secretary however remained a substantive position working in the Treasury. As such the Senior Secretary became known as the '[[Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury]]' while the Junior Secretary became known as the 'Financial Secretary to the Treasury' and the 'automatic' promotion from Junior to Senior ceased. While the exact date this change occurred is disputed it is agreed that by 1830 the distinction was complete.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/office-holders/vol1/pp29-31|title=Secretaries 1660-1870|publisher=British History Online|access-date=9 October 2016}}</ref> In 1923 [[Sir William Joynson-Hicks]] became the–to date–only Financial Secretary to serve in the Cabinet due to the Prime Minister, [[Stanley Baldwin]], also concurrently serving as [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]]. In May 2010 as part of the ministerial reorganisation by the [[First Cameron ministry]], the Financial Secretary was given the additional semi-official title of [[City Minister]]. This position was retained until April 2014 when following the promotion of [[Sajid Javid]] to [[Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport]] the portfolio of City Minister was moved from the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to the [[Economic Secretary to the Treasury]].<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.techuk.org/insights/news/item/1371-andrea-leadsom-mp-appointed-new-city-minister-within-hmt|title=Andrea Leadsom MP appointed new City Minister for HMT|publisher=Tech UK|date=10 April 2014|access-date=4 August 2016}}</ref> Appointment to the position of Financial Secretary to the Treasury is often considered an important stepping stone in a politician's career; six of the ten most recent holders of the office have gone on to hold Cabinet-level positions. Notable former Financial Secretaries to the Treasury include [[Lord Frederick Cavendish]], [[Austen Chamberlain]], [[Stanley Baldwin]], [[Enoch Powell]], [[Nigel Lawson]], and [[Norman Lamont]]. ==Current role== The current responsibilities of the Financial Secretary to the Treasury include Departmental responsibility for the [[Office for National Statistics]], and the [[Royal Mint]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} The Financial Secretary to the Treasury had Departmental responsibility for [[HM Customs & Excise]] until the merger with the [[Inland Revenue]] to form [[HM Revenue & Customs]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} ==List of financial secretaries to the Treasury since 1830== :''see [[Secretary to the Treasury]] for earlier incumbents'' '''Colour key''' (for political parties):<br/> {{Legend2|{{Party color|Conservative Party (UK)}}|[[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|Liberal Party (UK)}}|[[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|Peelite}}|[[Peelite]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|Tories (British political party)}}|[[Tories (British political party)|Tories]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|Whigs (British political party)}}|[[Whigs (British political party)|Whig]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|Labour Party (UK)}}|[[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|National Liberal Party (UK, 1931)}}|[[National Liberal Party (UK, 1931)|Liberal National]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|Liberal Unionist Party}}|[[Liberal Unionist]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|National Labour Organisation}}|[[National Labour Organisation|National Labour]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|National Government (United Kingdom)}}|''None''|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{Legend2|{{Party color|Unionist Party (Scotland)}}|[[Unionist Party (Scotland)|Unionist]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" ! colspan=3 | Financial Secretary ! colspan=2 | Term of office !
