Reform Bill Debates in House of Lords on Reading and Amendments

The House of Lords debated the third reading of a commission of accounts bill with amendments. Lord Radnor proposed changes while the Lord Chancellor defended the bill. After discussion and a division, the bill was read a third time and sent back to the Commons with amendments. The Roman Catholic bill saw opposing views from the Archbishops and Bishops, with calls for broader revision of related laws. The session ended with motions to postpone the remainder of business and to lay an account of imported lace before the House, and with other indemnity bills proceeding to engrossment or passage.
