Urgent Questions are proposed each morning by backbench MPs, and up to two may be selected each day by the Speaker. Chosen Urgent Questions are announced 30 minutes before Parliament sits each day.
Each Urgent Question requires a Government Minister to give a response on the debate topic.

Several hon. Members rose—
Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)
Order. Members will need to move a little faster, as will the Minister.
Chris Vince (Harlow) (Lab/Co-op)
I thank the Minister for his statement. I declare an interest as the chair of the all-party parliamentary group for young carers and young adult carers. Does the Minister agree that the role of young carers is critical not only to those who are cared for, but to the economy? Although young carers under 16 do not receive carer’s allowance, will he consider the impact of any plans on young carers and how we might better support them?
Madam Deputy Speaker
Order. Before the Minister responds, I remind the hon. Member that this is an urgent question, not a statement.
