The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether her Department has access to services provided under Ministry of Defence contracts with Palantir.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

Each government contract for externally-provided goods and services will vary in its scope, cost, duration and other factors, depending on the nature of the contract specification and negotiation. Questions about those matters should be directed to the government department with responsibility for each specific contract.
