Westminster 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.

Hugh Bayley (in the Chair)
I remind hon. Members that the debate will now conclude at 4.45 pm.
Nadine Dorries
For the benefit of Hansard, Mr Robinson has beaten the incompetence of First Capital Connect and—also for the benefit of First Capital Connect, which might see this debate—has now joined us.
Hugh Bayley (in the Chair)
Order. May I remind all hon. Members that there is a convention that one does not make reference to people in the Gallery?
Nadine Dorries
I take that on board, Mr Bayley.
When the Division took place, I was speaking not so much about the reforms introduced by the Secretary of State for Education, as his rhetoric and dialogue about the need for courses to be more robust and for students to become more engaged in the core subjects of maths, science and English.
