Announcements
VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION IN PROCEEDINGS
On 30 December 2020 the House agreed an order extending virtual participation to debate and certain other proceedings in accordance with a scheme prepared by the Speaker. On 25 March the House extended these provisions until 21 June.
The scheme for virtual participation in proceedings and the revised Members’ Guide to Chamber proceedings are available on the intranet. The Members’ Guide to Westminster Hall proceedings is available on the intranet.
PARTICIPATION IN WESTMINSTER HALL
On 25 February, the House agreed a motion to resume sittings in Westminster Hall on Monday 8 March. The sittings will take place in the Boothroyd Room in Portcullis House to allow Members to participate virtually.
Applying to speak
Applications to speak should be made via email to the Speaker’s Office ([email protected]).
The deadlines are as follows:
1.00 pm on the previous Friday for debates on a Monday; and
1.00 pm on the previous day for debates on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Call lists will be published at around 12.30 pm on a Monday for debates that day and 6.30 pm the previous day for debates on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Participation
Members are able to participate physically or virtually, but should note Mr Speaker’s request for Members to participate virtually in proceedings wherever possible. Members who wish to participate physically should note this when they contact the Speaker’s office.
For 60-minute and 90-minute debates, and debates scheduled by the Petitions Committee, only Members who are on the call list are permitted to attend. Members are not permitted to attend only to intervene or to observe.
Members will be called in the order they appear on the call list, unless there are technical problems which prevent this.
For 30-minute debates, there will not be a call list. Members wishing to contribute should follow existing conventions about contacting the Member in charge of the debate, the Speaker’s Office and the Minister.
Arrangements for social distancing
On the horseshoe in the Boothroyd Room, there are a maximum of eleven seats.
Of these seats, there are four available from which backbenchers can speak (others are reserved for the frontbenchers, the PPS or whip, the Member in charge, the Chair and the Clerk).
There are seven additional seats in the public gallery for Members in the latter part of the call list from which they can listen to debates and move onto the horseshoe when spaces become available.
Members should clean the microphone and the desk around them before and after use. Cleaning materials will be available for this purpose.
Guidance for Members on hybrid arrangements in Westminster Hall can be found on the intranet.

Rating (Coronavirus) and Directors Disqualification (Dissolved Companies) Bill: Second Reading
Sarah Olney
Ed Davey
Daisy Cooper
Wendy Chamberlain
Layla Moran
That this House, while agreeing that the disqualification regime should be extended to directors of dissolved companies, declines to give a Second Reading to the Rating (Coronavirus) and Directors Disqualification (Dissolved Companies) Bill because it retrospectively overrules more than 500,000 business rates appeals made by 170,000 businesses, fails to deliver adequate funding to support companies that have been excluded from business rates relief – many of whom are SMEs, puts business and jobs at risk by delaying the delivery of additional business rates relief, fails to recognise the impact of the pandemic on small businesses outside the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors – from office-based companies to manufacturing firms, severely limits the only route available to tens of thousands of businesses in claiming Government support during the pandemic, sets a troubling precedent for future crises by retrospectively limiting businesses’ right to challenge their business rates bill, and risks leading to more job losses and company closures during this economic crisis.
