Speech on independence of Parliament in 18th century debate
Sir Joseph Mawbey argues for removing officers of excise and customs from Parliament to preserve legislative independence. He warns the Crown's influence corrupts representation, urges electors to choose independent lawmakers, and recounts past parliaments' party majorities. Dowderwell backs him on return to office.
