Coventry Writ Motion Sparks Commons War Debate
In the House of Commons a motion by Lord Beignon to issue a new writ for Coventry prompted fierce discussion. Lord Beauchamp and Mr Fox urged timely action to avoid depriving Coventry of representation, while opponents warned against setting a risky precedent favoring ministerial control over returns. The debate touched on petitions, precedents, and the conduct of returning officers, ending with the sheriffs ordered to explain their return deficiencies, and an address on royal speech to be debated next session.
