Edmund Burke as Paymaster General
Channel: British Conservative
Date: 2022-03-07

Edmund Burke, considered to be the Father of Conservatism, was appointed Paymaster General briefly in 1782, and did more with this position than many MPs do in their whole careers. He passed the Civil List Act in Parliament which enacted "Oeconomical reform" , and also temporarily abolished the Board of Trade. His conservative ideas about change's purpose being to conserve the best of the past were on display here, as he sought to balance Crown and Parliament.
