HC Deb 29 May 1862 vol 167 cc93-4
MR. WALPOLE

said, he wished to ask, When the House was likely to adjourn for the Whitsuntide recess?

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

said, he thought it was usual not to sit on the next Wednesday, and therefore they would adjourn from Tuesday to Thursday. There would then be only one remaining day before Whitsuntide, and that was usually more a Volunteer day than anything else. He should propose, therefore, that the House adjourn from Thursday the 5th to Thursday the 12th of June.
