Information: - The Lord Privy Seal ( or , more formally , the Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal ) is the fifth of the Great Officers of State in the United Kingdom , ranking beneath the Lord President of the Council and above the Lord Great Chamberlain . The office is one of the traditional sinecure offices of state . Originally , its holder was responsible for the monarch 's personal ( privy ) seal ( as opposed to the Great Seal of the Realm , which is in the care of the Lord Chancellor ) . Today , the holder of the office is invariably given a seat in the Cabinet of the United Kingdom . Though one of the oldest offices in government anywhere , it has no particular function today because the use of a privy seal has been obsolete for centuries ; thus the office has generally been used as a kind of Minister without Portfolio . Since the premiership of Clement Attlee , the position of Lord Privy Seal has frequently been combined with that of Leader of the House of Lords or Leader of the House of Commons . The office of Lord Privy Seal , unlike those of Leader of the Lords or Commons , is eligible for a ministerial salary under the Ministerial and other Salaries Act 1975 . The office does not confer membership of the House of Lords , leading to Ernest Bevin 's remark on holding this office that he was '' neither a Lord , nor a Privy , nor a Seal '' .
