asked the Chancellor of the exchequer whether he is aware that the application of the Treasury Order, S.R. & O. 1945 No. 482, is viewed with apprehension by pharmacists as being likely to cause considerable extra work and hardship at a time when they are already overworked; and in view of their services during the national emergency, will he reconsider this subject.

I would refer the hon. Member to the terms of the Prime Minister's statement on this subject on Business last Thursday.
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.
