Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has had discussions with his Swiss counterpart on the assessment conducted by the (a) Swiss army and (b) Swiss Armed Forces of Palantir, including that company's safeguards for handling sensitive data.

While no meetings have yet taken place with the Defence Secretary's Swiss counterpart, he recognises the significance of UK defence engagement with Switzerland. He hopes to arrange a meeting in the near future.
