Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has contingency plans in the event that his Department’s contracts with Palantir are terminated.

The Ministry of Defence manages its commercial relationships in line with established government procurement and contract management frameworks, with appropriate governance, assurance and risk management arrangements in place throughout the life of a contract. I hope the hon. Gentleman will under that the Department does not comment on hypothetical scenarios relating to the termination of individual contracts.
