Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury is a key government official responsible for managing government business in the UK Parliament, primarily assisting the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who oversees the country’s finances. This role often involves overseeing the passage of financial legislation and supporting the government’s legislative agenda. Despite the title, the position is more administrative and political, acting as a liaison between the government and Parliament, and ensuring smooth communication and coordination during parliamentary sessions. It is usually held by a government minister, often a senior member of the ruling party.
