Asked by Grahame MorrisLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 10 July 2026UIN 15690

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Department maintains a public register or internal inventory of automated decision-making systems.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Government is committed to adopting artificial intelligence in a way that is transparent, responsible and accountable to the public.

Information about algorithmic and AI tools used by government departments to support decisions that affect members of the public, or that have a significant influence on a decision-making process with public effect, is published through the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard (ATRS). The ATRS has been mandatory for central government departments since 2024, and records are published on GOV.UK at www.gov.uk/algorithmic-transparency-records .
