Debate moderator (British English)

"A discussion moderator or debate moderator is a person whose role is to act as a neutral participant in a debate or discussion, holds participants to time limits and trying to keep them from straying off the topic of the questions being raised in the debate. Sometimes moderators may ask questions intended to allow the debate participants to fully develop their argument in order to ensure the debate moves at pace."

Is the term moderator used in this sense also in the UK? How would you otherwise call someone who moderates, for example, a conference panel?

Thank you in advance!
