Westminster Hall
691 debates where MPs raised important constituency issues
What are Westminster Hall Debates?
Westminster Hall debates give MPs a chance to raise issues that matter to their constituents and get a response from a government minister. These are more in-depth than PMQs, allowing for detailed discussion of local and national concerns in a less adversarial setting.
- An MP opens with a 15-30 minute speech explaining the issue in detail
- Other MPs can contribute their views and share local examples from their constituencies
- A government minister responds with policy details, commitments, and government position
- The atmosphere is more collaborative than adversarial, focusing on solutions and dialogue
