The Company created a powerful East India lobby in Parliament, a caucus of MP’s who had either directly or indirectly profited from its business and who constituted one of the most united and formidable forces in British politics. It also made regular gifts to the Court. All who could help or hurt at Court: ministers, mistresses, priests, were kept in good humour by presents of shawls and silks, birds’ nests and attar of roses, bulses of diamonds and bags of guineas. It also made timely gifts to the Treasury whenever the state faced bankruptcy. In short, it acted as what George Dempster, a stockholder, called a “great money engine of state”.
