Commons Debate on Maynooth Bill and College Charter
Mr. T Dexcombe voiced support for the broad Maynooth Bill and the measure open to all, after opposing it earlier. The House, adjourned for Whitsuntide, reassembled to hear Railway Bill issues and a motion by Mr Wakley to form a select committee to probe the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He attacked the 1543 charter, its impact on the profession, and demanded inquiry into its effects, arguing the charter and appointing powers were unjust and should be reconsidered.
