Written Answers
Georgia: Civil Liberties
Asked by: Blair McDougall (Labour - East Renfrewshire)
Tuesday 15th July 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his Department's policies of (a) prosecutions of opposition party leaders and (b) levels of repression of civil society groups in Georgia.

Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

I am seriously concerned by the recent sentences imposed on several prominent Georgian opposition figures. These are clearly politically motivated and aimed at blocking the political opposition from future elections. On 23 June I called on Georgian Dream to end its misuse of the courts to silence dissent, and free all political prisoners. In addition, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office summoned the Georgian Chargé d'Affaires on 30 June, to make clear the UK's firm opposition to Georgia's increasingly harmful trajectory. We continue to keep the worsening situation in Georgia under close review. On 1 July I chaired an emergency meeting with like-minded European democracies on Georgia to discuss our assessment of the situation and actions in response.

On 15 May I raised my wide-ranging concerns about recent repressive legislation on civil society and the media; restrictions on freedom of assembly and arbitrary arrests; and growing anti-Western rhetoric from high-level representatives of Georgian Dream. On 18 June I discussed my concerns about Georgian Dream's repressive legislation to restrict civil society, media, and opposition voices with Georgian 5th President Zourabichvili, and expressed my support for her work supporting democracy in Georgia. On 26 June our Ambassador to Georgia raised concerns about attacks on civil society, media and non-governmental organisations with Georgian Dream Foreign Minister Botchorishvili. We continue to keep a range of options under active review working with our partners to respond to the latest actions.

The UK's support for Georgia's Euro-Atlantic aspirations remains steadfast, and we stand ready to assist in a return to its European values and democratic norms.

Government Departments: X Corp
Asked by: Blair McDougall (Labour - East Renfrewshire)
Thursday 17th July 2025

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Government plans to continue to use X.com as a platform for government communications.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The Government uses a range of channels to reach and engage the public. Use of these platforms is assessed against the high standards for digital safety, as set out in the Government Communication Service (GCS) SAFE framework.

X Corp: Artificial Intelligence
Asked by: Blair McDougall (Labour - East Renfrewshire)
Monday 21st July 2025

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will hold discussions with X.com on the potential impact of the output of its Grok AI on community safety.

Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

The Government’s commitment to tackling online harms applies across all social media companies, and we engage with all major platforms in this regard. Many generative AI services have functionalities that bring them into scope of the Online Safety Act – services in scope will be required to assess the risk of harm to users from illegal content and content that is harmful to children on their services and implement measures to manage and mitigate this risk. Online platforms, including X, will need to fulfil these duties. Ofcom has strong enforcement powers where platforms fail to comply.
