HC Deb 31 March 1862 vol 166 c323

Order for Committee read.

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

I propose that this question be taken on Monday, the 5th of May, a week after the day on which the House will meet after the Easter recess.

MR. WALPOLE

said, as far as he could hear, there was no objection to the day which the noble Viscount had fixed; but it had been mentioned on Friday night that it would be very desirable that the Government amendments on the Revised Code should be laid on the table as early as might be convenient, in order that the House and the country might have time to consider their details. He would, therefore, ask that the noble Viscount should say that he would be prepared within a reasonable time to lay the amendments on the table.

Committee deferred till Monday, May 5.
