Naval defence debate in the Lords over Brest armament

Lords debate the sufficiency of home defence amid Brest naval augmentation. SPEAKERs warn a strong fleet alone may not deter invasion, citing Hawke in Torbay and urging a robust military alongside the navy. Cabinet ministers face questions on timing, France, Spain, and America relations, with Shelburne demanding exact forces and Versailles communications.

Parliament Debate on Delicate Question and Navy Readiness

In a heated session Lord Shelburne denounced delays in information as unacceptable while Lord Sandwich offered to answer if the House insisted. Duke of Richmond argued for full deliberation, and Lord Bristol praised the Treasury First Commissioner, noting potential frigate needs and plans to deploy forty ships of the line by February or March.
