Winchester Troops Bill Sparks Debate in Common
In the House of Commons on May 18, MPs clash over suspending an act to keep King’s troops in Winchester during the next election. Col Barre and others warn of dangerous precedent, while Penton and Stanhope argue for necessity amid prison disease and Garrisons. The session also covers curbing gallery access, public scrutiny, and pay pensions reform.
