Declaratory Act of 1788


Dundas was the first President of Board of Control. He was a friend of Pitt, the young. He adopted an attitude which was not liked by the Directors and no wonder differences arose among them. The Board of Control sent four Royal Regiments of troops to India and charged their expenses to Indian Revenues. The Directors referred to the Act of 1781 and pointed out to the illegality of the procedure. The result was that the Declaratory Act of 1788 was by the British Parliament. It vested full power and supremacy in the board of Control. This was a definite step in transferring the power of a company to the Crown. It was also provided in a new Act that the Directors should place the annual accounts of the Company before Parliament. In matters of granting gratuity for services and increment in salaries, the Board of Control was required to take the approval of the Directors. About the new Act, Mill observed thus:  “The Bill is an absurdity which resembled a contradiction in terms.”
