The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the resilience of critical national infrastructure that relies on software or data platforms supplied by Palantir.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The government works closely with critical national infrastructure operators, alongside our national technical authorities and industry partners, to ensure preparedness for the diverse range of threats and risks the UK faces.

The government does not generally comment on national security matters, including the resilience of individual suppliers into CNI.
