whipper-in
6. A member of a particular party in Parliament whose duty it is to secure the attendance of members of that party on the occasion of an important division. Originally called whipper-in (whipper-in n. 2). There is a variable number of Government Whips (under a Chief Whip) in both Houses of Parliament, who receive salaries paid out of public money. The Chief Whip in the Commons is the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury. In 1964, the additional post of Assistant Government Whip was created, several of whom are appointed.
