War and taxes dominate late parliament session
In a heated debate, ministers face calls to end the war with America and oppose further taxes. The House tests bills on wine duties and legacy taxes as Sir Philip Jennings Clerke, Lord North, and others spar over public finance while urging restraint on expenditures amid ongoing war costs. The session shifts to a commission of accounts bill as ministers seek to control public money.
