User blog:Jeremiah Garland/Parliamentary Announcement: The First Director of the East India Trading Company

4 AUGUST 1748

WESTMINSTER HALL

OFFICE OF THE EXCHEQUER

AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION of its candidates, the Office of the Exchequer, acting with the Office of Chancery, has successfully nominated a new Director of His Majesty's East India Trading Company (EITC). This man will serve as the first ever director of the Company, which was recently absorbed by the British Crown in light of the termination of the former Lord Marshal, Samuel Harrington.

We are both honoured and pleased to name LORD NATHANIEL HUNTINGTON the First Director of His Majesty's East India Trading Company. Lord Huntington will oversee all duties of the Company, answering only to His Majesty the King, as well as the Offices of the Prime Minister, the Chancery, and the Exchequer. This title grants Lord Huntington the utmost influence in Britain's economic behemoth that is the EITC, and henceforth all Company decisions will rest in his control.

In addition to his recent promotion as Director of the Company, Lord Huntingon has vowed to continue to serve His Majesty's Army as field marshal.

Our kindest congratulations, Lord Huntington.
