HC Deb 17 May 1860 vol 158 c1364
VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

Sir, I rise to make the Motion of which I have given notice, that the House at its rising adjourn to Monday next. If the House should agree to that Motion, I shall also move that the Committees have leave to sit, notwithstanding the adjournment of the House. Perhaps it may be convenient to the House at the same time to say that we mean to propose that the House shall adjourn on Friday in next week for the Whitsuntide holidays until Thursday in the week following. I think, also, it will be convenient that on Monday next I should move that the present arrangement with regard to Fridays and Thursdays should continue until the end of the present Session.

Motion made and Question proposed—"That this House will, at the rising of the House this day, adjourn till Monday next.
