Written Question
Autonomous Weapons
Thursday 9th May 2019

Asked by: Lord Browne of Ladyton (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what meetings, if any, ministers and special advisers have held on autonomy in weapons systems during the last year.

Answered by Earl Howe - Deputy Leader of the House of Lords

Ministers and special advisers have not held any meetings specifically addressing autonomy in weapons systems. However, as investment in technology-led modernisation is a key part of maintaining our national defence and security capabilities, Ministers and special advisers are routinely briefed on this subject.
