State of Finances and Bank Drain Debate in Lords
The House of Lords debates the Secret Committee report on finance and the Bank of England drain. Duke of Bedford lambasts ministers, questions evidence and conclusions, cites Bank directors and merchants, argues money sent abroad worsened the strain, calls for accountability, and moves a pro forma resolution blaming payments to the Emperor and foreign princes. The Lords consider the ministerial conduct and the country’s liberty amid alleged fraud and corruption.
