Westminster Hall is an alternative Chamber for MPs to hold debates, named after the adjoining Westminster Hall.

Each debate is chaired by an MP from the Panel of Chairs, rather than the Speaker or Deputy Speaker. A Government Minister will give the final speech, and no votes may be called on the debate topic.

The hon. Gentleman mentioned the wider economic impact. East Grinstead has the headquarters of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, which provides access to more than 2,200 campsites, glamping and all sorts of wonderful places. It will be affected by the overnight visitor levy, which means that a meal out and other things families want to do on those holidays just will not happen. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that that is what this means for families?

Order. We have half an hour to get everyone in. I hope Chris Webb will conclude so that other people can get in.
