The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether his Department is using AI software in responding to written parliamentary questions.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology does not have a specific policy on the use of AI for responding 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.
