Artificial Intelligence: Copyright
Asked by: Baroness Kidron (Crossbench - Life peer) Friday 27th February 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the of legal action against AI companies in the US relating to copyright when issuing government contracts to, or agreeing memorandums of understanding with, AI companies. Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Government keeps relevant global legal and regulatory developments, including live litigation in the US, under review as we develop our approach to copyright and AI. When issuing government contracts or agreeing to memorandums of understanding with AI companies, Government is required to undertake appropriate due diligence and risk assessment on a case-by-case basis. |

Artificial Intelligence: Training
Asked by: Baroness Kidron (Crossbench - Life peer) Friday 27th February 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish where the data collected from users of the AI Skills Hub is held; and which companies will be given access to that data. Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is the Data Controller for the AI Skills Hub, and PwC acts as UKRI’s Data Processor. The AI Skills Hub is facilitated by PwC and is made available to users through a third‑party platform provided by Invision Community. Invision host data within the European Economic Area (EEA). Data collected from users is only shared where legally permitted. Data may be shared with service providers, such as Invision, or with third parties as required by applicable law or regulation. |

Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Public Expenditure
Asked by: Baroness Kidron (Crossbench - Life peer) Friday 27th February 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of the spending of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is allocated to UK-headquartered firms, and what proportion of its spending is allocated towards US-headquartered firms. Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology's (DSIT) largest channel of support to businesses is delivered through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). UKRI will deliver £38.6 billion of R&D investment over the next four years, including £7 billion to support innovative company growth, the majority of which we expect will go towards UK-headquartered firms. DSIT and UKRI categorise investments by the location of where activity is performed in the UK, not company ownership. The department does not hold data in the format requested on whether a recipient of funding or wider spending is a UK or US-headquartered firm. Most US firms operating in the UK do so via UK subsidiaries and therefore have UK registered addresses in our payments system. DSIT will shortly be publishing a stretching target and action plan for our procurement spending with small and medium enterprises, most of which will be UK-based. |
