Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what processes are in place to verify investment claims associated with large-scale AI infrastructure projects in the UK; and what steps they are taking to ensure transparency and accountability in the reporting of such investments.

Decisions on investment are a matter for private companies. The Government has been clear that it will encourage and support investments that will enable UK firms and people to benefit. Many of the large-scale AI infrastructure projects in the UK have been publicly announced, with most of these having press releases available on Gov.uk. The Government continues to engage across the board on these investments to ensure that they deliver the best outcomes for the UK.
