[Relevant documents: First Report of the Scottish Affairs Committee of Session 1999-2000, HC 59, and the Government and Scottish Executive's response thereto, Session 2000-01, HC 55.] Motion...
Opened in December 1999, Westminster Hall 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.
