Answer

As Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology, I have no responsibility for any government departments. With regard to agencies, Crown entities, and other bodies within the Science, Innovation and Technology portfolio, I am advised that no algorithm impact assessments have been undertaken, other than assessments completed by Callaghan Innovation in relation to the use of Microsoft Copilot Pro by limited number of staff.
