§ Lord Ponsonby of ShulbredeMy Lords, I know that many noble Lords will be looking forward to next week when the Christmas Recess begins. However, I believe that some noble Lords are already trying to make plans for the Easter Recess. Therefore, I wonder whether the noble Lord the Government Chief Whip has anything to say on the matter.
§ Lord DenhamMy Lords, I am most grateful to the noble Lord the Opposition Chief Whip because I really think it probably would be for the convenience of your Lordships if I were to comment on the matter. The thought is that the House should rise for the Easter Recess in the week ending 6th April, rather than in the following week.
§ Lord Ponsonby of ShulbredeMy Lords, I am most grateful to the noble Lord. However, does that mean that the Easter Recess will take place in the week before Easter as opposed to the week after?
§ Lord DenhamYes, my Lords; that is correct.
