B Days and hours of sitting in Westminster
Hall
EXPLANATORY NOTE
C denotes a day on which a Select Committee
Report was debated
Under Standing Order No. 10, on days on which the House sits there
are sittings in Westminster Hall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
On Tuesdays and Wednesdays these sittings begin at 9.30 am, are
suspended from 11.30 am until 2.30 pm and may then continue for
up to a further two and a half hours. On Thursdays sittings begin
at 2.30 pm and continue for up to three hours. Where the Backbench
Business Committee has recommended that there be a debate on an
e-petition, this takes place in Westminster Hall on Mondays from
4.30 pm for up to three hours. Any Member of the House may take
part in sittings in Westminster Hall.
In calculating sitting times for Westminster Hall, the lunch-time
suspensions occurring under the provisions of Standing Order No.
10 have not been included. Suspensions for other reasons, including
Divisions in the House, are included in the total.
