The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department is using AI software in responding to written parliamentary questions.

Answered by Andrew Western

DWP has access to AI software tools to support day-to-day workings such as the drafting process for responding to written parliamentary questions. The terms of use are clear that the license holder must review the content provided by the tool. All responses are drafted and reviewed by policy officials to ensure accuracy and consistency with government policy, and are signed off by Ministers.
