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.

Mr Peter Bone (in the Chair)
Minister, would you like to hear from Sir John?
The Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships and Higher Education (Robert Halfon)
As long as it is short.
Mr Peter Bone (in the Chair)
That, I am afraid, I cannot guarantee. Keep it short, Sir John.
Mr Peter Bone (in the Chair)
Yes, exactly. It is unusual, Sir John, but in your case we will allow it.
