	Treasury - LoveToKnow 1911
		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.
		There are two joint secretaries to the treasury, one of whom, the patronage secretary, is merely a political officer, acting as chief whip; the other is termed financial secretary and is the chancellor of the exchequer's chief assistant.
		The salaries of the first lord of the treasury and of the chancellor of the exchequer are £5000 per annum; of the joint secretaries £ 2000 per annum each; of three of the junior lords boon per annum each, the other junior lords being unpaid.

	Lord High Treasurer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By convention, the Prime Minister serves as the "First Lord of the Treasury," and the Chancellor of the Exchequer serves as the "Second Lord of the Treasury." Other members of the Government (usually whips in the House of Commons) are appointed to serve as the junior Lords Commissioners.
		Exemplifying the power of the Lord High Treasurer is William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley, who served in the post from 1572 to 1598.
		Today, the First Lord of the Treasury is as a rule the Prime Minister, and the Second Lord of the Treasury is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has inherited most of the functional financial responsibilities.

	Great Officers Of State - LoveToKnow 1911
		26 strictly applicable only to the lord high steward, _ the lord high chancellor, the lord high treasurer, the lord-president of the (privy) council, the lord (keeper of the) privy seal, the lord great chamberlain, the lord high constable, the earl marshal, and the lord high admiral.
		Of these, three - the lord chancellor, the lord-president of the council, and the lord privy seal - the first and second are always, and the third almost always, cabinet ministers.
		The four offices of the high steward, the great chamberlain, the high constable, and the earl marshal stand on a different footing, and can be regarded at the present day as little else than survivals from an earlier condition of society.

		Back when the first lord of the Admiralty was a senior member of the cabinet, the flag was used by the Admiralty Board, to which the powers of lord high admiral had been delegated by the crown.
		The Admiralty flag is still flown at the foremast head of a warship whenever the Sovereign is embarked because the Sovereign is, at common law, the Lord High Admiral, and retains those functions of the office not especially delegated to the Secretary of State for Defence and the Defence Council.
		As a result, the position of Lord High Admiral was taken out of commission, and now inheres in the Queen, who therefore flew the Admiralty flag on her yacht HMS Britannia when it was still in commission.
