Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department permits (1) Ministers, (2) Special advisers and (3) officials to use (a) Chat GPT, (b) Google Gemini, (c) Claude, (d) Deepseek and (e) Grok as part of their official duties.

DWP is committed to harnessing the benefits of artificial intelligence to improve both the productivity of our workforce, and the quality of the services we deliver to the millions of people who rely on us. The Department’s principal AI tool for official use is Copilot Chat, which is provided securely under its Microsoft agreement. Access to the listed AI systems, with the exception of DeepSeek, is permitted but security controls apply which prevents copying, pasting and file transfer. Use of such systems is monitored to ensure compliance with departmental data handling and security policies.
