Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the hosting of the National Data Library will be the subject of a strategic procurement in order to buy, make and sell more in Britain.

The National Data Library will transform the way the Government manages our national strategic data assets. ​

​It will focus on maximising the value of data for the public good, on growing the economy and creating new jobs, and on delivering data-driven AI-powered public services.

Decisions on the design and implementation of the National Data Library will be taken in due course.
