Independence of Parliament Debate Over Lord Lieutenants
The Lords debated the dismissal of Marquis of Carmarthen and Earl of Pembroke from Lord Lieutenancies amid fears of parliamentary encroachment on royal prerogative. They argued for preserving parliamentary independence, scrutinizing military appointments, and the crown’s discretionary power, with ministers notably silent. The session adjourned near eleven after a division, with proxies contentious.
