Recent Westminster Hall debates
What are Westminster Hall Debates?
In December 1999, a new meeting place was opened up for debates - Westminster Hall.
Westminster Hall sits alongside the main Chamber, and is aimed at fostering a new style of debate. Sessions are open to all MPs, who sit in a horseshoe arrangement which is meant to encourage constructive rather than confrontational debate
The meetings are presided over by a Deputy Speaker and there are no votes.
