Votes and disqualifications for pecuniary interest in Parliament
An 1811 debate considers how members with financial stake in a bill should vote. MPs discuss potential rules, previous cases, and whether to require abstention, with leaders like Mr Manning, Mr Grenfell, Mr Peel, and others weighing prior motions and the role of public opinion. The session shifts to colonial produce duties and smuggling concerns, then adjourns after committee actions on several bills.
