Government Departments: Artificial Intelligence
(asked on 13th May 2026) - View Source
Question to the Attorney General:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hermer on 27 April (HL16377), how the artificial intelligence tool developed by Cabinet Office and No.10 defines "disproportionate" reporting and consultation duties; and on what data or criteria the tool was trained to make that determination.
This question was answered on 1st July 2026
The AI tool identifies solely the reporting and consultation duties, it does not specify whether they are ‘disproportionate’ or not. The policy development around this is ongoing; decisions on proportionality remain the purview of ministers.
