Africa Trade in Decline and Reforms Proposed
Luttrell opens on Africa trade as vital to Britain and rebukes the Board of Trade for a partial report. He outlines historic royal African Company failures, mentions ports from Port Sallee to the Cape, notes parliamentary sums for forts, and argues reorganization to revive trade, reduce monopoly harms, and restore national revenue through Africa commerce. The speech cites slave trade volumes, ship counts, and price shifts to argue for policy change.
