HC Deb 07 May 1866 vol 183 cc484-5
MR. BOUVERIE

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, When he intends to propose the adjournment of the House for the Whitsuntide recess?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, the intention of the Government is to move that the House shall rise on Friday week and adjourn till the Thursday following.

ABMIRAL DUNCOMBE

said, he wished to know if the Government intend to propose the adjournment of the House for the Derby Day?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

I do not think that is ever made the subject of a previous understanding. Matters take their natural course on that day.
