House of Commons Tussay Nov 12 1777 Turnpike reform motion
The Speaker opened after two, Parliament nearly empty, as Sir Charles Whitworth presented a Ways and Means resolution to grant a land tax of four pence in the pound on all lands in England Wales and Berwick for 1777 with Scotland apportioned. Debates followed on turnpike repairs, petitions for road improvements, and a motion to appoint a committee to inspect funds spent on turnpike maintenance over ten years. Sir George Savile spoke on patent term enlargements for a fire prevention invention, arguing the petition should be treated cautiously with emphasis on utility, capital needs, and term limits.
