The exact same question had been submitted four days before the deadline and it was queried. I asked why the previous question had been queried and was told…” | 88 |
| 3 Jun 2026 | Procedure Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 49) “Is that a policy decision that you have taken? Certainly, in the last six months, I have started using AI much more.
