A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluid over a stretching surface is investigated when the fluid is permeated by a uniform transverse magnetic field and Hall effects are taken into account. It is found that for a flow at small magnetic Reynolds number past the surface which is stretched with a velocity proportional to the distance from a fixed point, velocity profiles are similar. For a fixed value of the Hall parameter m, components of velocity along and normal to the surface at a given point decrease with an increase in the magnetic parameter M. However for fixed values of m and M, the cross-flow velocity component induced by Hall currents reaches a maximum value at a certain height from the surface and the profiles for this velocity component shift towards the left with an increase in M. A novel result of the analysis is that for a fixed value of M, the primary velocity component remains positive for small values of the Hall parameter (m=<0.5) and becomes negative for m>0.5 indicating flow reversal. The region of this flow reversal increases with an increase in m. A similarity solution for temperature distribution in the above flow is also found and the rate of heat transfer at the stretching surface is computed for various values of m and M.
