Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 5 March to Question 33788 on Ministry of Defence: Written Questions, whether AI is used at any stage in the drafting of responses to parliamentary questions.

The Ministry of Defence is exploring various applications of AI to enhance corporate services and drive efficiency. Officials may use approved AI tools (such as large language models) when developing responses to parliamentary questions, but responsibility for finalising and approving drafts rest with officials.

All parliamentary questions remain reviewed and signed off by a Minister.
