The report details Mr Beaufoy leading a debate on repealing the West and Corporation Acts to relieve Protestant Dissenters. He argues the Dissenters seek civil rights, not ecclesiastical privileges, and cites that two deputies from each meeting sought Parliament relief. He explains the Sacrament requirement and penalties under the Acts and stresses the aim is civil rights for dissenters like Presbyterians Independents and Baptists.
