Extracts from Peel's Speech on Repeal of the Corn Laws, 15 May 1846
In the early 1830s Peel had been well-known for his opposition to the repeal of the Corn Laws and
in 1841 had promised not to repeal the legislation. During the course of his second ministry
(1841-6) he changed his mind and by December 1845 was considering repealing the Corn Laws. In the
