HC Deb 19 April 1859 vol 153 c1900
MR. T. S. DUNCOMBE

Sir, seeing Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer in his place, I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman a question. We know that we are summoned here to-day for the Prorogation of Parliament. I wish to ask when the dissolution will actually take place—when the notification of it will appear in the Gazette, and when the Writs will be issued?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

A Council will be held on Saturday morning. We have advised Her Majesty to dissolve Parliament on that day, so that the Writs may go out on that evening.
