Parliament Debates on Bill as Lords Speak on Religion
The debate features support and opposition from peers on a bill relating to religion and governance. Some urge restraint and warn against an inquisition style law while others defend the measure. A division passes 60 to 31 to postpone further consideration by three weeks. A related Commons motion concerns preventing royal subjects from trading to the East Indies under foreign commissions and securing lawful trade. Papers on arrears to regiments from the States General are referred to committee.
