27 Feb 2026
Risks and opportunities to the sustainability of data centres in the UK Environmental Audit Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 6 Apr 2026) Data centres are regarded by ministers as being central to UK economic growth and were designated critical national infrastructure (CNI) in September 2024, offering them more legal protections. But their electricity consumption is expected to quadruple by 2030, according to the National Energy System Operator, raising concerns about their sustainability In their new inquiry, MPs will explore how growing AI use might accelerate the need for data centres and whether planning authorities will take account of their impact on the environment. They will also consider how new technologies could minimise their environmental impact and what lessons the UK could learn from other countries. Amongst the issues the Environmental Audit Committee’s new inquiry will examine will be how much energy and water data centres are likely to use, and how this could impact the Government’s net zero goals. Read the call for evidence for more information about this inquiry, and to find out how to submit written evidence through the Committee's online evidence submission portal. |

China and the UK economy Business and Trade Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 10 Apr 2026) In this inquiry, the Business and Trade Committee will scrutinise the Government’s approach to economic engagement with China. In particular, it will assess the potential net benefits to the UK of deeper economic integration with China, and how these benefits compare to the risks that closer ties with China may bring. The Committee will aim to clarify the precise nature of the economic relationship between the UK and China, setting out the risks involved and determining the relative level of risk for different areas of economic engagement. It will assess the way Government weighs trade-offs and makes decisions, the effectiveness of the its existing regulatory toolkit and implementation. Finally, it will explore how the UK’s allies and partners are mitigating these risks, the lessons that the UK could draw, and the ways in which the UK and its allies might strengthen co-operation to address the economic security challenges posed by China. |

Critical minerals Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls (Select) Submit Evidence (by 12 Apr 2026) Demand for critical minerals has grown rapidly in recent years. New technologies, including turbines and data centres, require more minerals than the older systems they replace. At the same time, global trade in these materials has become more fractured and competitive. The Government has identified critical minerals as one of the UK’s “foundational sectors”, which support the resilience of the IS‑8 sectors. It has published a new critical minerals strategy, the third in four years. The strategy sets two core objectives: increase domestic production, and build resilient UK and global supply networks. For the first time, the Government has set targets for domestic production, recycling, and diversification of supply chains. The Business and Trade Sub‑Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls is launching an inquiry to consider how domestic production and trade can support a secure supply of critical minerals for UK industry, and assess the likely impact of the proposals set out in the Government’s strategy. |

Artificial Intelligence, business and the future of the workforce Business and Trade Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 3 Apr 2026) The Business and Trade Committee is launching an inquiry into Artificial Intelligence (AI) in order to better understand the opportunities and costs for businesses and the workforce, and to make recommendations on Government priorities. AI has advanced rapidly in recent years, supported by major improvements in computing power, data availability and the emergence of large language models (LLMs). This has enabled AI to perform an expanding range of tasks. AI adoption has increased, but uptake remains uneven. As adoption accelerates, AI is expected to have significant impacts on UK business and the UK workforce, reshaping work. It will prove a growth industry in itself, enhance productivity, disrupt existing industries and business models, cost jobs, and create jobs. The Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan includes a twentyfold expansion of public AI hardware by 2030 and seeks to leverage private investment through initiatives such as the US–UK Tech Prosperity Deal (with £30 billion committed by major technology firms). |
