Remembrancer
The official role of the Remembrancer is to "maintain and enhance the City's status and ensure that its established rights are safeguarded" which is interpreted by Shaxson, Monbiot, Occupy London, as safeguarding the rights and status of the Corporation's voters who, they believe, are overwhelmingly banks and large corporations - though as noted above, voters are predominantly employees and partners of businesses, not the businesses themselves, and the franchise favours smaller businesses over large. Nicholas Shaxson calls the Remembrancer the City's "official lobbyist in parliament"; the Remembrancer is privileged to sit opposite the Speaker in the House of Commons.
