‘(A)’ denotes a day allotted for the consideration of Estimates under S.O. No. 54

B Days and hours of sitting in Westminster Hall

Explanatory note

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 half-past nine o’clock, are suspended from half-past eleven o’clock until half-past two o’clock and may then continue for up to a further two and a half hours. On Thursdays sittings begin at half-past two o’clock 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 half past four o’clock 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.
