Westminster Hall is an alternative Chamber for MPs to hold debates, named after the adjoining Westminster Hall.

Albert Owen (in the Chair)
Order. I am sure that this intervention will be on the subject of the debate.
Albert Owen (in the Chair)
No, you are not listening. We are debating the motion before the Chamber. It has been a good-hearted debate and you have made several interventions, but they have to relate to the subject matter.
Rebecca Pow
My intervention relates to the south-west. Colleagues have made a strong case for upping the productivity in the south-west region, but under this Government a great deal of funding has come to the south-west—far more than ever before. We simply want to build on that.
