Dundas’s Bill (1783)
 |
| Henry Dundas |
The
amendment Act of 1781 did not remove all defects of the Regulating Act and
consequently many bills were introduced in Parliament to remedy them. In April,
1783, Dundas introduced his bill. According to it, the Crown was to have power
to recall the principal servants of the Company. The control of Bengal
Presidency over Bombay and Madras was to be increased. The Governor-General was
to have the power of acting on his own responsibility in opposition to the
opinions of his own council. He was to be empowered to hold the office of
Commander-in-Chief. Those Zamindars of Bengal who were displaced as a result of
quinquennial settlements were to be restored. Obviously the bill gave complete
authority and control over British India into the hands of a person with the
title of governor-General. As Dundas was in the Opposition, the bill was
dropped after introduction.
