Last Session Ends as Parliament Prorogued After War Debate
The 1877 session closes with prorogation after a day of mixed activity. Sir William Harcourt dominates debate chatter while Mr Knatchbull-Hugessen and Mr Bourke clarify a pending report. The Queen's Speech outlines neutrality in the Russo-Turkish war, famine in India, and reforms across courts, education, and administration.
