| | Prime Minister of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Lord Stanhope and Lord Sunderland, who were joint leaders of their Cabinet, were succeeded in 1721 by Sir Robert Walpole, who held the influential office of First Lord of the Treasury. | | | The first in 1924 took place immediately after an inconclusive election result and led to an immediate change of government, but in the other two cases a general election was called (and in both the incumbent government was defeated). | | | Peers (members of the House of Lords) are created by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister; by obtaining the creation of several new peers, the Prime Minister may flood the House of Lords with individuals supportive of his position. |

| | TREASURY - LoveToKnow Article on TREASURY |
| | The first lord of the treasury (see MINISTRY) takes practically no part in the duties of the boards the office being to all intents and purposes a sinecure; it is usually held by the prime minister of the day. | | | The junior lords of the treasury are also political rather than financial officers, acting as assistant whips in the House of Commons. | | | Since 1714 the office of lord high treasurer has been in commission, and his duties have been administered by a board, consisting of a first lord, a chancellor and four or more junior lords. |

| | First Lord of the Treasury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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. | | | Before 1827, the First Lord of the Treasury, when a commoner, also held the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, while if the First Lord was a peer, the Second Lord would usually serve as Chancellor. |

| | However, starting during the 1800s, these positions became sinecure positions, with the First Lord serving almost invariably as Prime Minister, the Second Lord invariably as Chancellor of the Exchequer (the exchequer being the modern treasury of the United Kingdom), and the junior lords serving as assistant whips in Parliament. | | | Traditionally, this board (serving as a commission for the Lord High Treasurer) consists of the First Lord of the Treasury, the Second Lord of the Treasury, and four or more junior lords (to whom this title is usually applied). | | | In the United Kingdom, there are at least six Lords of the Treasury who serve concurrently. |

| | 10 Downing Street - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Number 10 has been the residence of the First Lord ever since it was given to Sir Robert Walpole (who was also the first 'prime minister of Great Britain'*) by King George II on behalf of the nation and the Crown. | | | Harold Wilson lived in his own private home in Lord North Street during his second term as Prime Minister in 1974-76, but maintained the pretence of living at Number 10 for security and privacy reasons, while secretly exiting by a side door to return to his 'private' home. | | | This office is now inextricably linked with that of the Prime Minister, hence it is known as the official residence of the Prime Minister. |

| | Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell |
| | The form of address "my lord" is properly used not only for bishops and those of the nobility to whom the title "lord" is applicable but also for all judges of the high court in England and lord provosts. | | | In certain cases the members of a board that has taken the place of an office of state are known as lords commissioners, e.g., lords of the Treasury, civil or naval lords of the Admiralty. | | | Some high officials of the Cabinet have the word lord prefixed to their titles, e.g., first lord of the Treasury (the prime minister), lord high chancellor, lord president of the council, lord privy seal. |

| | Though he became First Lord of the Treasury in 1743, he emerged as Prime Minister only in 1746 after a prolonged and desperate struggle with his rival Lord Carteret. | | | His brother's interest provided a seat in Parliament, first for the small borough of Seaford, then for the county of Sussex, and he was not slow to exploit the opportunities offered. | | | In the judgement of that shrewd observer, the Earl of Chesterfield, 'he was a very inelegant speaker in Parliament, but spoke with a certain candour and openness that made him well heard and generally believed'. |
