Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, which (a) Departments, (b) arms length bodies and (c) Government programmes have (i) migrated to and (ii) plan to migrate to One Login.
Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
All major government departments have committed to onboarding their services to GOV.UK One Login, and are actively developing delivery plans. They are supported by our Onboarding and Engagement team who share best practices and provide advice and assets to enable technical service teams to onboard their services smoothly.
As of December 2024, users can access over 50 government services across multiple government Departments, within GOV.UK One Login. The list of public-facing services can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/using-your-gov-uk-one-login/services.
Some services are still in an early testing phase and are currently available to only a select group of users, therefore not listed in the service list.
We expect to have onboard over 100 services next year, with more to follow. Future services to include those from HM Revenue and Customs, Department for Work and Pensions, Companies House, Office for Public Guardian, and the Department for Education.

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps he is taking to ensure that departments have access to high quality predictive modelling.
Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)
Predictive modelling is widely used across government departments, including DSIT, and is implemented by analysts from the various analytical professions. These professions are brought together by the ONS-based Analysis Function, which co-ordinates analytical standards, including learning and training resources, and quality assurance. The Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO), which is now part of DSIT, is driving cross-government AI-adoption plans which will increase departments’ access to high quality predictive modelling. CDDO develops standards and guidance for AI adoption, including the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standards which support the National Data Strategy commitment to explore an appropriate and effective way to deliver greater transparency on algorithm-assisted decision making in the public sector.
