Lords Debate King's Illness and New Parliamentary Provision
The Lords met after prayers as excuses flowed for absent peers while the Lord Chancellor announced letters from peers. The Lord President lamented the throne speech could not occur due to the King's infirmity, deeming Parliament incomplete. The Lords of the Council had summoned five physicians to testify on oath about the King's health to assess duration and recovery prospects and whether the Board could act to supply governing functions.
