Editing Chancellor of the Exchequer (section)

===Official residence===
The chancellor of the Exchequer has no official London residence as such but since 1828 in their role as Second Lord of the Treasury they live in the second lord's official residence, No. [[11 Downing Street]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=History of Number 11 Downing Street |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/history/11-downing-street |access-date=16 October 2014 |publisher=UK Government}}</ref> In 1997, the then first and second Lords, [[Tony Blair]] and [[Gordon Brown]] respectively, swapped apartments, as the chancellor's larger apartment in No. 11 better accommodated Blair's substantial family (besides himself and his wife, he had three children under 18 upon taking office, and a fourth was born in 2000); meanwhile, Brown was then unmarried and had no children.
