House of Peers Debate on Scottish Representation
In the House of Lords and Commons, peers clash over whether nobles who accepted British peerages may still represent Scotland in the sixteen Scots peers. The Lords Chancellor and others argue for maintaining the Scots representation, while the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cumberland vote with the majority. In the Commons, discussion centers on the Lottery Bill amendment and delaying the France treaty vote. Mr Fox and Mr Sheridan defend delaying considerations, while the Chancellor of the Exchequer extols the commercial treaty with France and its long term benefits despite mistrust of French intentions. The debate includes detailed remarks on wider implications for union, commerce, and national interest.
