Pension of Hanover King Sparks English House Debate
The House debated whether the pension of £21,000 to Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, should continue after he became King of Hanover. Critics argued the payment from UK taxes is wasteful while supporters praised the honor of the Hanoverian king. The motion was withdrawn after hours of discussion and the majority opposed the amendment.
