Petition and debates on bankers duties and foreign imports
In a lengthy session Lord North presented a petition from leading bankers urging measures to ensure repayment of debts and prevent embezzlement. Townshend and Townshend argued that imports by foreign ambassadors harmed domestic trades. A committee was named to probe the issues, including the impact on weaving and credit, while debate touched on treating ambassadors with respect and enforcing existing laws.
