The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reason she did not provide a substantive response to the Freedom of Information Act request with reference number 359A/25 on her Department's use of services provided by Palantir Technologies UK Ltd.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Home Office issued a substantive response to the requester in May 2024, which stated:

We have carried out a thorough search and we have established that no current Palantir contracts or use of Palantir software were identified within the Home Office.
