> About Urgent Questions
>
> At times MPs may want to put an urgent question to a Minister. If a matter of public importance has arisen, which an MP believes requires an immediate answer from a government minister, they may apply to the Speaker to put forward such a question.
>
> The relevant government department would be informed at once.
>
> If the Speaker agrees, the question will be asked after that day’s Question Time.
>
> Once the MP has asked the main question, they are allowed to ask a supplementary question. Other MPs will then be called to ask further questions on the same subject.
>
> Watching proceedings from the public gallery
