Asked by: Baroness Alexander of Cleveden (Labour - Life peer) Monday 29th June 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the implications for the United Kingdom's access to frontier AI models, in the light of the United States' decision to restrict access to Anthropic's most recent Mythos and Fable systems. Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) This Government takes AI sovereignty and security extremely seriously. We are investing £500m in UK AI firms via our SovAI Fund, including in home-grown model developers, like Ineffable. This goes beyond just funding, to include support such as visas and procurement. Sovereignty is not just about access to AI models. It is about building leverage over key parts of the value chain, such as AI hardware. That is why the Government has announced a £1.1 billion AI hardware plan. Security is also fundamental to the Government's approach. Our AI Security Institute is world leading, and one of a handful of organisations with access to Mythos before release. This means the UK is not a bystander. Canada, France, Germany and elsewhere recognise our leadership, and want to work with us to build sovereign assets and learn from our approach to risks. |

Asked by: Baroness Alexander of Cleveden (Labour - Life peer) Monday 29th June 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the scale of public investment needed to maintain meaningful UK sovereignty in AI infrastructure. Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) For Britain, AI sovereignty is about reducing over-dependencies and increasing resilience in key national strategic priorities, so we secure greater control and greater leverage over the issues that matter most. We will continue to use the best technology and welcome inward investment because that is what our public services and economy demand.
We recently announced a £1.1 billion AI Hardware Plan to back British firms developing the chips and computing power behind AI. This includes our Advance Market Commitment to buy novel inference chips, which will equip the UK’s AI Research Resource (AIRR) with powerful next generation chips. Dedicated AIRR capacity supports the AI Security Institute and the Sovereign AI Unit, including guaranteed resource for mission-critical AI safety research, and strategically selected UK AI startups. Over 500 UK projects have already been supported through AIRR infrastructure, and we are further investing £2 billion to expand our public compute offering. |
