Reluctance Over Protestant Dissenters Bill in Commons
In Ireland December 3 the House of Commons debated the relief bill for Protestant Dissenters from the Test Act. Mr Wilson voiced astonishment that the bill had not yet reached England, urging the government to declare its status and cost. Mrs Corry supported the request, noting constituents’ push for the measure while officials gave no firm information. Sir Richard Heron said the bill had not been delayed by government intent, only due to money-bill priorities, with no neglect admitted by ministers.
