Old Parliamentary Estimates and Tax Proposals of 1729
The Historical Register reports resolutions in early 1729 on grants for the Year 1729 for the Land Forces and Ordnance, with totals for reduced officers and extraordinary expenses. It notes duties on malt, cider, perry, and a 6d per bushel duty on grain used in distilling, plus accounts of 1728 spending and Navy interest money. A motion to raise supplies without new debt failed, and the Ways and Means resolutions led to a bill being ordered.
