Explanation:

From the time the Company established its rule in Bengal in the mid-1760s, its activities were closely watched and debated in England.There were many groups in Britain who were opposed to the monopoly that the East India Company had over trade with India and China. These groups wanted a revocation of the Royal Charter that gave the Company this monopoly.Company officials were widely publicised in the press. The British Parliament passed a series of Acts in the late eighteenth century to regulate and control Company rule in India.
It forced the Company to produce regular reports on the administration of India and appointed committees to enquire into the affairs of the Company.The Fifth Report was one such report produced by a Select Committee.It became the basis of intense parliamentary debates on the nature of the East India Company’s rule in India.
