 On the motion of Lord Randolph Churchill (who represented Paddington South where anti-Board feeling was at its highest), the House of Commons voted on 16 February 1888 to establish a Royal Commission to inquire into the Board.The Commission was headed by Lord Herschell and found the main allegations of the "Financial News" to have been correct, and indeed understated.Some other scandals were also discovered including the corruption of architects who were members of the Board.
