HL Deb 31 March 1898 vol 55 cc1465-6
THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

Perhaps the noble Duke will tell me what arrangements he proposes in regard to the date of the adjournment of the House for Easter?

THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL

It is anticipated that a statement in regard to some part of the China negotiations will be made in the other House on Tuesday next, and probably it will be convenient that a statement of the same character shall be made in this House. At the same time, I believe that the House of Commons will meet on Tuesday at Two o'clock, and it will, perhaps, be convenient to your Lordships that this House shall meet at the same hour on that day.

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

I quite agree that it will be very desirable that both Houses shall meet at the same time to hear the statement.

THE LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL

And then I think I said, on Tuesday last, that on the adjournment it would be proposed that this House should adjourn to April 21st.

THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

That is what you said.
