• Chief_Whip abstract "The Chief Whip is a political office in some legislatures whose task is to administer the whipping system that ensures that members of the party attend and vote as the party leadership desires. In British politics, the Chief Whip of the governing party in the House of Commons is usually also appointed as Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury, a Cabinet position. The Government Chief Whip has an official residence at 12 Downing Street. However, the Chief Whip's office is currently located at 9 Downing Street.As shown in BBC television series such as Yes Minister and House of Cards, the Chief Whip can wield a large amount of power over those in their party, up to and including cabinet ministers, being seen to speak at all times with the voice of the Prime Minister. Margaret Thatcher was famed for using her Chief Whip as a \"cabinet enforcer\".The role of Chief Whip is regarded as secretive, as the Whip is concerned with the discipline of their own party's Members of Parliament and never appears on television or radio in their capacity as whip. An exception was Andrew Mitchell, the Government chief whip in 2012, who appeared on television to deny remarks made about himself.Whips in the House of Commons do not speak in debates.The Government Chief Whip is assisted by the Deputy Chief Whip, Whips, and Assistant Whips. In order to give them a salary for what is in essence a party office, the government whips are appointed to positions in HM Treasury and in the Royal Household under the Lord Steward of The Household. The whips are not fully active in either of these departments though do undertake a number of responsibilities. The Deputy Chief Whip is Treasurer of HM Household, the next two Whips are Comptroller of HM Household and Vice-Chamberlain of HM Household, and the remaining Whips are Lords Commissioners of the Treasury. Assistant Whips, and Whips of opposition parties, generally do not receive such appointments.The current Conservative Government Whips in the Commons are:Chief Whip (Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury): The Rt Hon Mark Harper MPDeputy Chief Whip (Treasurer of HM Household): The Rt Hon Anne Milton MPWhip (Comptroller of HM Household): Gavin Barwell MPWhip (Vice Chamberlain of HM Household): Kris Hopkins MPWhips (Lords Commissioners of the Treasury): The Rt Hon David Evennett MPJohn Penrose MPAlun Cairns MPMel Stride MPGeorge Hollingbery MPCharlie Elphicke MPAssistant Whips:Andrew Selous MPMargot James MPJulian Smith MPGuy Opperman MPSarah Newton MPStephen Barclay MPSimon Kirby MPJackie Doyle-Price MPA similar arrangement exists for Whips in the House of Lords. The Government Chief Whip is usually appointed Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, while the Deputy Chief Whip is usually appointed Captain of the Queen's Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard. Other Whips, who are fewer in number due to the decreased importance of party discipline in the Lords, are appointed as Lords in Waiting if men and Baronesses in Waiting if women. As well as their duties as whips, Lords whips speak in the Chamber (unlike Commons whips) to support departmental ministers or act as a spokesperson for a department where there is no Lords minister. The current Lords whips are:Chief Whip (Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms): The Lord Taylor of Holbeach CBE PC FRSADeputy Chief Whip (Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard): The Lord Gardiner of KimbleLords and Baronesses in Waiting:The Lord Ashton of HydeThe Baroness Chisholm of OwlpenThe Baroness Evans of Bowes ParkThe Earl of CourtownThe Viscount Younger of LeckieThe Lord Bourne of AberystwythOutside of the government, the Official Opposition Chief Whip in the Commons, like the Leader of the Opposition, receives a stipend in addition to their parliamentary salary, because their additional responsibilities will make them unable to hold down another job.The whips, although superficially dictatorial, do act as communicators between the backbenchers and the party leadership. Ultimately if backbenchers are unhappy with the leadership's position they can threaten to revolt during a vote and force the leadership to compromise.While the whip was formally introduced to British politics by the Irish Parliamentary Party under Charles Stewart Parnell in the 1880s, in 1846 the Duke of Wellington advised the new Conservative Party leader Lord Stanley to ensure that his \"whippers-in\" were personally loyal.".
