Written Question
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities: Palantir
Tuesday 6th December 2022

Asked by: Baroness Brinton (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the “purposes” currently active in the “Purpose-Based Access Control” feature in Palantir’s Foundry software in use in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

Answered by Baroness Scott of Bybrook - Shadow Minister (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

Being assigned a 'purpose' (now known as a 'project') gives a Foundry user access to different data on Homes for Ukraine, depending on their role. For privacy and security reasons, the access rights for users is carefully controlled. Foundry does not hold data not related to Homes for Ukraine and is not used for any other purpose.

High-rise Buildings: Evacuation of Disabled Residents

"My Lords, the Government’s consultation says that PEEPs would not be proportionate, practical or safe. Instead, it proposes that they stay put. But staying put is what killed 40% of disabled residents in Grenfell Tower. Sir Martin Moore-Bick’s inquiry recommended PEEPs and a premises information box. The fire chiefs’ guidance …..."
