Chancellor of the Exchequer is the title held by the British Cabinet minister who is responsible for all economic and financial matters. Kenneth Clarke was the Chancellor of the Exchequer by July 1996.
Behind the scenes
- A prop version of The Guardian made for the film version of Half-Blood Prince establishes that Alistair Darling was Chancellor in 1996 rather than 2007-2010, and thus the real-world Chancellors are not be the same as in the Harry Potter universe.
