Can the right hon. Gentleman say why there has been this great delay in presenting the Report?

Mr. GUINNESS:

No. I understand that the Committee are discussing the Report, and I hope that before the end of the year, at least, it may be presented.

Chancellor of the Exchequer

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.
