Lords Debate Over Scotch Militia and Parliament Recall Bill
The House of Lords debated a Scotch Militia clause with Norfolk opposing a reciprocity of duties, and Grenville pushing a bill to shorten the time to convene Parliament after the summons from forty to fourteen days. The Catholic and Protestant Dissenters bill was opposed by many bishops but supported by Lords Grenville and Hawke. The motion to adjourn the bill was defeated, and the bill was read again in three months with a majority against it.
