This is a list of Lords Commissioners of the Treasury of Great Britain (1714âÂÂ1801) and of the United Kingdom (1817âÂÂpresent).
In modern times, the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury are the Prime Minister (who is also the First Lord of the Treasury), the Chancellor of the Exchequer and some government whips. Although there is a small overlap, this list should not be confused with a list of ministers in HM Treasury.
In addition, for earlier officials, see the list of lord high treasurers of England and Great Britain.
