Westminster HallWestminster Hall is an alternative Chamber for MPs to hold debates, named after the adjoining Westminster Hall.
Each debate is chaired by an MP from the Panel of Chairs, rather than the Speaker or Deputy Speaker. A Government Minister will give the final speech, and no votes may be called on the debate topic.

indicated dissent.
The Minister is shaking his head. I wonder whether the hon. Lady would join me in inviting him to intervene to explain why that fact is wrong.
I do not know whether the Minister would like to do so now or at the end. It is up to him.
I will at some length explain why the remarks that the right hon. Gentleman just made—
Order. If Members wish to make an intervention, they should stand to do so. It is up to the person who is speaking whether to accept an intervention.
I was going to say this at the end of Ann Davies’s speech, but I will say it now. This debate is oversubscribed, so I will put a time limit on speeches. Members should make short interventions, because interventions will mean less time for those people who have put in to speak.
