Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 26 October 2026, to question 36644 on Defence: Digital Technology, whether Palantir is required to engage with the Digital Targeting Web via the Challenge Book for future applications.

In the answer I provided to the hon. Member on 26th October 2026 to question 36644 I stated that the process for industry to engage with the Digital Targeting Web is via the Challenge Book (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/digital-targeting-web-challenge-book-2026). This will be the case for any new capability, digital or data service that might eventually form part of the Digital Targeting Web and will apply across industry, including Palantir.
