Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster

	Incumbent; The Lord Strathclyde PC;

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is, in modern times, a sinecure office in the government of the United Kingdom.

History

Originally he was the chief officer in the daily management of the Duchy of Lancaster (a former county palatine merged into the Crown in 1399), but that estate is now run by a deputy, leaving the position of Chancellor to serve in effect as an alternative Minister without Portfolio. The position has often been given to a junior Cabinet minister with responsibilities in a particular area of policy for which there is no department with an appropriate portfolio.

Until recently, ownership of the title had been combined with serving as one of the Ministers for the Cabinet Office. This was true of Alan Milburn, who was given the title by Labour PM Tony Blair in 2004 and at the same time rejoined the Cabinet.

The current Chancellor is Thomas Galbraith, 2nd Baron Strathclyde, who is also the Leader of the House of Lords. Between 2003 and 2009 the holder of that office had been given the sinecure title of Lord President of the Council while the Chancellorship had been given to the Minister for the Cabinet Office. However, in the reshuffle of 5 June 2009 Lord Mandelson was made Lord President and, as the new Cabinet Office Minister Tessa Jowell retained her previous sinecure as Paymaster General. This left the Chancellorship to the Baroness Royall.^[1] In David Cameron's first cabinet, announced on 12 May 2010, the Chancellorship remained with the Leader of the House of Lords as the office of Lord President of the Council was given to the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg.

In recent times, the Chancellor's duties, administrative, financial and legal, have been said to occupy an average of one day a week. Since 1491 there has been a Vice Chancellor. He is now the Chancery Division Judge in the north-west, and no longer appointed to that position as legal officer of the Duchy.
