Session notes on British Bills and Royal Assent delays
The record details readings and passes of bills in the House of Commons and Lords, including a bill on British fishery credit and salt duties, an address to the King about pensions, and a third reading of a prohibited goods bill. It notes the King postponing royal assent to February 6 due to repairs at the Painted Chamber and Lords offices, with a committee ordered to inspect and plan Westminster Hall repairs and a temporary timber house setup.
