House Lords late debate on Chatham pension bill and Saratoga papers
The House discussed Lord Radnor’s plan to build a gallery over the Lords lobby for MPs use. Debates on the Earl of Chatham’s descendants pension bill followed with arguments on economy, pensions, sinecures, and state finance. Lords Camden Shelburne and Richmond argued for passing the bill. Derby pressed for full Saratoga papers and prorogation timing. The division left the house in suspense as papers and political fate hung on prorogation and future sessions.
