Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Written Questions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department is using AI software in responding to written parliamentary questions.
Answered by Catherine West
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has made Microsoft Copilot available to staff as part of a trial. It is therefore possible that officials have used Copilot to assist them when drafting replies to written parliamentary questions. All responses are reviewed by policy officials to ensure accuracy and consistency with government policy, and are signed off by Ministers.
