Plymouth defence inquiry urged over harbour neglect
The Duke of Richmond moved to form a committee of the whole House on May 2 to investigate Plymouth's defence during the August allied fleet threat, seeking accountability for the harbour dockyard neglect and the governance structure. Lords Pembroke, Sandwich, and Richmond pressed for answers amid claims of ministerial negligence and calls for a wider inquiry into stores, troops, and fortifications.
