Urgent questionMonday, 8 June 2026

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs if she will make a statement on the humanitarian situation in Cuba, following the US naval and financial blockade

Urgent matter raised by an MP

Jeremy Corbyn has tabled an urgent question asking the Foreign Secretary to make a statement on the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, attributed to the decades-long US naval blockade and financial sanctions. The question seeks to draw government attention to the effects of these measures on Cuban civilians and to establish the UK's position on this longstanding geopolitical dispute.

This item reflects parliamentary concern about the humanitarian impact of US foreign policy on a non-aligned nation. While the UK has limited direct leverage over US sanctions policy, the answer will signal Labour's stance on Cold War-era economic coercion and its willingness to raise human rights concerns in the Caribbean region.

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