    Explainer

    This is a debate in Westminster Hall, scheduled by the Backbench Business Committee.

    These debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue

    • seek to influence government policy

    • put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

    They do not generally involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
