| | The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is a member of the Cabinet. | | | For this reason, being appointed to this role has in the past been ironically derided by onlookers as an underhand way of demoting a minister without having to sack anyone. | | | It is an ancient title which nowadays carries rather light, nominal duties in connection with the administration of the Duchy's estates and rents. |
