A debate chamber is a room for people to discuss and debate. When used for legislative purposes, it may also be known as a council chamber, legislative chamber, chamber of parliament, or similar term. Debate chambers are used in governmental and educational bodies, such as a parliament, congress, city council, or a university, either for formal proceedings or for informal discourse, such as a deliberative assembly. Some countries, such as Wales and New Zealand, use the term "Debating Chamber" as a formal name for the room that houses the national legislature.
