HL Deb 30 March 1847 vol 91 cc615-6
EARL GREY

rose to move the adjournment of the House until after Easter, and said that, in consequence of a suggestion which had been made on a former evening by a noble Lord (the Earl of Wicklow), that their Lordships should adjourn to Thursday, the 15th of April, instead of to Tuesday, the 13th of April, the day originally named, he (Earl Grey) had made inquiries on the subject. He found that no public inconvenience could result from adjourning to Thursday, the 15th, while it would be more convenient to many noble Lords to adjourn to that day. He, therefore, proposed that their Lordships, at rising, should adjourn to Thursday, the 15th of April next. He begged at the same time to give notice, that after the recess their Lordships would sit in their new House, Her Majesty being pleased to assign that portion of the new building of the Palace of Westminster to the use of their Lordships.

House adjourned to Thursday, the 15th of April.
