HC Deb 31 January 1812 vol 21 c478

This Bill wag read a third time.

Mr. Bennet

wished to introduce a clause for preventing such officers as held places in the Household from having seats in parliament.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer

opposed the introduction of such a clause into the Bill. He could not but think it very hard that such officers should be prevented from serving their country in parliament.

The Clause was negatived, and the Bill passed.
