– in the House of Commons at on 25 March 1943.
Miss Ward:
asked the Chancellor of the exchequer whether any woman is included on the Civil Service Arbitration Tribunal, either on the panel representing the Treasury or on the panel representing the staff side of the National Whitley Council?
Sir Kingsley Wood
, Woolwich West
No, Sir.
The chancellor of the exchequer is the government's chief financial minister and as such is responsible for raising government revenue through taxation or borrowing and for controlling overall government spending.
The chancellor's plans for the economy are delivered to the House of Commons every year in the Budget speech.
The chancellor is the most senior figure at the Treasury, even though the prime minister holds an additional title of 'First Lord of the Treasury'. He normally resides at Number 11 Downing Street.
