Lord Privy Seal 〈英〉王玺掌管大臣 中世纪时，当英王无法利用国玺或不便使用国玺时，便使用王玺亦即私玺，约自1300年起就有王玺掌管大臣。在宗教改革前，这一职位通常由教士担任，此后常由世俗贵族担任。直至近代，在文件上，特别是金融业务文据及专利许可证上，仍以加盖王玺作为加盖国玺〔Great Seal〕或由财政付款的保证。掌管王玺的职权于1884年被撤销。这一职位现一般授予并无具体部门职务而又欲让其入阁的政客〔non-departmental minister〕担任，经常担负着特殊的职责。 (→Clerks of the Privy Seal；Keeper of the Privy Seal)
