The Lord Treasurer serves as the senior-most Minister of the Crown in Government and generally determines the official Government policy of the day.
The Lord Treasurer is invariably drawn from the temporal peers of the House of Lords; however, there have been a number of occasions when MPs from the Houses of Commons have been elevated to the peerage or more often, the banneretcy, in order to serve as Lord Treasurer
The 1st Banneret de Stornton, Sir Spencer de Stornton, has held the position of Lord High Treasurer since the end of the 2020 Michaelmas Term, after the retirement of the 8th Duke of Limmes from the position owing to failing health.
