HL Deb 16 March 1888 vol 323 cc1422-3

In reply to the Earl of KIMBEKLEY,

THE PRIME MINISTER AND SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (The Marquess of SALISBURY)

said, that he proposed practically that the House should adjourn that day week for Easter; but he was not sure that it would be possible actually to adjourn on that day, because there might be some financial measures which must be passed before the 31st of March. Of course, the Government would take no contentious Business after that day week. He proposed that their Lordships should re-assemble again on Friday in Easter week, April 13.
