Regency bill debate in House of Commons on oath for Regent
Saturday February 7 in the House resolved into a committee on the Regency bill. Even at seven in the evening the committee had reached the thirteenth clause and adjournment was moved. Burke attacked the oath as insulting and misaligned with who guards the King. The Chancellor of the Exchequer sought to read a clause from the last Regency act. Vite argued the case allowed an oath to the Regent for the King’s safety, with Burke insisting the old act did not apply to the present case.
