Written Answers
Artificial Intelligence Asked by: Lord Robathan (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 17th December 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the risks posed by the development of superintelligent AI. Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) There is considerable debate and uncertainty around Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), but the possibility of their development must be taken seriously. The increasing capabilities of AI may exacerbate existing risks and present new risks, for which the UK need to be prepared. The role of the AI Security Institute (AISI) is to build an evidence base on these risks, so the government is equipped to understand them. AISI focuses on emerging AI risks with serious security implications, including the potential for AI to help users develop chemical and biological weapons, and the potential for loss of control presented by autonomous systems.
Pensions Increase (Pension Scheme for Keir Starmer QC) Regulations 2013 Asked by: Lord Robathan (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 16th December 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to repeal the Pensions Increase (Pension Scheme for Keir Starmer QC) Regulations 2013. Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) The 2013 regulations were introduced by the Conservative-led Coalition government to ensure the Director of Public Prosecutions’ pension scheme is uprated in line with other public service pension schemes.
