HC Deb 29 April 1856 vol 141 c1707
MR. LAYARD

said, that with reference to the notice which had been given by the noble Lord at the head of the Government upon the previous evening, that the treaty of peace would be taken into consideration on Monday next, he begged to ask whether the noble Lord proposed to move an Address to Her Majesty, and whether that Address would be submitted to the House before the discussion which was to take place on Monday commenced?

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

Sir, the usual course upon such occasions has been to move an Address to the Crown. A Motion of that kind, I may add, has generally proceeded from an independent Member of the House.
