To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make a statement on the violent disorder that took place last night in Belfast

Urgent matter raised by an MP

Claire Hanna, an SDLP MP, has tabled an urgent question asking the Home Secretary to make a statement on violent disorder that occurred in Belfast the previous night. Urgent questions are a parliamentary tool for raising matters of immediate public importance; this one seeks official government response to a public order incident in Northern Ireland.

Violent disorder in a major UK city is a matter of national concern. The response will signal how the government intends to address civil unrest and what support or resources may be mobilised for affected communities and police. As the incident occurred in Northern Ireland, the statement will be particularly significant for residents and businesses in Belfast and for cross-UK confidence in public order management.

Urgent questions draw responses from across the House — any MP may participate, so we don't show a predicted interest list.
