Resolutions on Navy Supply Debate in House of Commons
In the House of Commons on Wednesday February 13 the supply for the Navy for 1782 was discussed. Lords and MPs critical of Admiralty mismanagement argued over ship repairs, rigging thefts, and sales abuses, while calls were made to replace leaders. By nine, the resolutions passed without a division. Gibraltar dispatches and reports on ships, including the Fame, were noted.
