previous parent / parent changednone. Two committees have changed names to follow the July 2026 department changes: the Commons Business and Trade Committee now appears as the "Business, Innovation, Science and Trade Committee"; the committees API lists the Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee as "Science and Technology Committee (Commons)" and the Culture, Media and Sport Committee as "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee" (renaming dates not found).

blurbHow Parliament scrutinises AI: committee inquiries and reports, AI bills and Acts, POST briefings, the APPG on AI and audits of government AI.

website still shows old brandingyes — the committee web page for committee 135 still reads "Science, Innovation and Technology Committee" while the committees API calls it "Science and Technology Committee (Commons)" and says it scrutinises DSIT; the Culture, Media and Sport Committee page has no renaming note while the API uses "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee"; the bills page for the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill still names DSIT as sponsoring department.

Gaps the research left open

30Shown as gaps, never filled in by guesswork. Supplement 1 (the second pass) closed some; they are listed below.

Search allowance used up. I used all 15 WebSearch calls; the rest of the work used WebFetch only.
Blocked or failing sites. The permission system blocked these pages (not retried): post.parliament.uk (the POST website), www.nao.org.uk (including https://www.nao.org.uk/reports/use-of-artificial-intelligence-in-government/), questions-statements-api.parliament.uk, bills-api.parliament.uk and a 2018 Lords AI committee report on publications.parliament.uk. These kept failing with client errors: hansard.parliament.uk, questions-statements.parliament.uk, several bills.parliament.uk pages (bills 3942 main page and stages, 3519 stages, 4288 stages, 4310), committees.parliament.uk publications and news sub-pages, and two PAC/Treasury report pages on publications.parliament.uk. As a result:
- Government position on an AI bill. No Hansard debate or written answer could be read. These exist as search-result titles only: Lords oral question "Artificial Intelligence: Legislation" (16 July 2026), Lords "Artificial Intelligence: National Security Implications" (16 June 2026) and written question 2026-06-01/5695. GOV-PARL-050 uses the GOV.UK statement of 12 October 2026 instead. I also could not find whether the King's Speech that opened the 2026–27 session (May 2026) included an AI bill. — Partly closed (Supplement 1): Written answers of 22 October 2026 (GOV-PARL-092, GOV-PARL-093), written statement HCWS314 of 7 September 2026 (GOV-PARL-091), Commons Library CBP-10003 (GOV-PARL-094); GOV-PARL-050 amended. Still open: Lords oral question "Artificial Intelligence: Legislation" (16 July 2026) — Hansard pages and the day's PDF failed (client error); written question 2026-06-01/5695 not reached (the written-questions API and search pages were blocked). The written-questions API search for "artificial intelligence bill" since 1 June 2026 could not be run. — Closed by Supplement 1: "whether the King's Speech that opened the 2026–27 session (May 2026) included an AI bill" (Part 2.2 Timeline row 2026-05-13 already records "King's Speech 2026 contains no AI bill"; CBP-10003 (GOV-PARL-094) confirms no AI-specific legislation as at 14 October 2026.)
- Lord Holmes's bill. I could not read the 2023–24 bill's stage dates. A Hansard page dated 22 March 2024 for the bill exists, probably its second reading, but it would not load. For the 2024–26 bill, only the first reading (4 March 2025) is shown, and the "fell at end of session" fate is inferred. — Partly closed (Supplement 1): 2nd reading 22 March 2024 (GOV-PARL-040 amended). Still open: later 2023–24 stages (a Lords business paper URL for a Third Reading item dated 10 May 2024 appeared only as a search result and failed to load — not recorded); 2024–26 bill (3942) stages page and bills API blocked or failing, so its fate is still inferred.
- Superintelligence bill. The bill number was not found. The second reading date (13 November 2026) comes only from LexisNexis News. — Partly closed (Supplement 1): First reading 8 September 2026 now also shown by the bill's publications page (GOV-PARL-042 amended). Bill number and second reading date still not on any primary page opened (bill stages page and Hansard failed).
- "Artificial Intelligence (Consent and Misuse) Bill" (bill 4310). The bill page would not load, so the sponsor, house and stage are unverified. — Partly closed (Supplement 1): House (Commons), type (presentation bill), 1st reading 20 October 2026 and 2nd reading 27 November 2026 now recorded (GOV-PARL-044 amended). Sponsor and purpose still unknown: main page, publications page and bills API failed or were blocked.
- POST. POSTnote 757 "Artificial intelligence (AI) and employment" and POSTnote 712 "Use of artificial intelligence in education delivery and assessment" were seen only as search-result titles; the PDF for 757 failed to load. POST's full list of AI publications since 2023 could not be checked. — Partly closed (Supplement 1): PN 757 (GOV-PARL-085), PN 712 (GOV-PARL-083), PN 708 (GOV-PARL-082), PN 735 (GOV-PARL-084), PB 57 (GOV-PARL-086), Horizon Scan 2024 AI articles (GOV-PARL-087), PN 681 (Past events). Still open: POST home page and publications list blocked; not opened — POSTbrief 61 (title unknown), PN 697 "Data science skills in the UK workforce", PN 719 "Disinformation: sources, spread and impact", "AI in policing and security", "Artificial intelligence for cyber resilience" (blocked), and the POST AI glossary.
- NAO. I found no 2025–26 NAO follow-up on government AI and no material on the NAO's own AI use. The March 2024 NAO report is recorded from the PAC report only. — Partly closed (Supplement 1): March 2024 findings from the NAO's own press release (GOV-PARL-018 amended); NAO good practice guide, May 2026 (GOV-PARL-088); NAO's own AI Strategy, 2026 (GOV-PARL-089). Still open: the NAO report page itself (permission request timed out); no 2025–26 NAO value-for-money report on government AI was found in one search.
- Treasury Committee. The report HC number and the government response to "AI in financial services" were not read (publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cmselect/cmtreasy/1791/report.html failed). The chair's quote was not read.
- SIT Committee. I did not read the reports behind the 7 July 2026 sovereign AI warning or the 3 June 2026 Palantir warning; only the headlines were read. The August 2023 interim Governance of AI report (12 challenges) is sourced only to the committee's November 2023 news summary. The 2026 "Technology-facilitated abuse" and "Neuroscience and digital childhoods" inquiries were not confirmed as covering AI.
Committees with no AI work found on their summary pages (28 October 2026): Home Affairs (no facial recognition inquiry; its digital ID report of 20 May 2026 was not checked for AI), Work and Pensions, Justice, Defence, Culture, Media and Sport, and the Lords Justice and Home Affairs Committee. Their past AI work before 2026 was not checked, because the publications listings would not load.
Not checked: the Lords AI Select Committee report "AI in the UK: ready, willing and able?" (2018) and its 2020 follow-up. The 2017–2022 part of the timeline is therefore thin.
Naming discrepancies, recorded as found:
- Committee 135 is "Science, Innovation and Technology Committee" on its web page but "Science and Technology Committee (Commons)" in the API.
- Committee 378 is "Culture, Media and Sport Committee" on its web page but "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee" in the API.
- The Lords Communications and Digital Committee chair appears in the API as "Barbara Keeley".
- The Lords Science and Technology Committee lists two chairs: Lord Mair from 30 January 2025, with no end date, and Lord Winston from 27 January 2026.
- The JCHR chair start date is 9 September 2026 in the API and 10 September 2026 in the committee news.
- The government response to "Proceed with Caution" is dated 19 February 2024 by the Lords Library and 21 February 2024 by the committee page.
- The government response to the LLM report is dated 17 April 2024 by the Liaison Committee and 2 May 2024 in the Lords Library references.
Education Committee AI inquiry. The API date of 22 June 2026 falls after the 10 April 2026 evidence deadline, so its meaning is unclear. The opening date was not found.
APPG on AI. The only sources are the secretariat's own documents (Big Innovation Centre); the Parliament Register of All-Party Parliamentary Groups was not opened. Other AI-related APPGs were not checked.
Bills not verified:
- Police Reform Bill: no bills.parliament.uk page found, and the title is as ministers use it.
- Health Bill: stages after 14 May 2026 not confirmed.
- Automated Vehicles Act 2024 and DMCC Act 2024: commencement not checked. — Partly closed (Supplement 1): AVA chapter number and AI-relevant Parts and sections (GOV-PARL-047 amended); per-section commencement still not checked; DMCC Act not in this scope.
Parliament's own use of AI (Parliamentary Digital Service, Commons Library AI tools, Hansard AI tools): nothing was found on any page that loaded. The only related items are the Commons Library briefing on government AI (GOV-PARL-080) and i.AI's Parlex tool built on Parliament's data (GOV-PARL-081; a government tool, not Parliament's).
Leads file. Claims in the leads file about the Lords amendments that produced DUA Act ss.135–136 (the "Kidron amendments") were not verified on a primary page and are not relied on.
Fetched content. No fetched page tried to give instructions.
Partly closed (Supplement 1): "Not checked: the Lords AI Select Committee report 'AI in the UK: ready, willing and able?' (2018) and its 2020 follow-up." — 2018 report and government response (GOV-PARL-090; Past events; Part 2.2). Still open: the report text on publications.parliament.uk (blocked), the committee chair's name, and the 2020 Liaison Committee follow-up (a Lords Library page "Artificial intelligence policy in the UK: Liaison Committee report" was listed but not opened).

Closed by Supplement 1 (4)

"whether the King's Speech that opened the 2026–27 session (May 2026) included an AI bill" — Part 2.2 Timeline row 2026-05-13 already records "King's Speech 2026 contains no AI bill"; CBP-10003 (GOV-PARL-094) confirms no AI-specific legislation as at 14 October 2026.
"Cyber Security and Resilience Bill: current Lords stage not confirmed." — Lords committee stage from 1 September 2026 (GOV-PARL-051 amended; S3 Past events and Upcoming dates).
"Online Safety Act 2023: AI provisions recorded only through the 2026 amendment power." — s.216A text and definition of "AI service" (GOV-PARL-036, GOV-REG-063, GOV-HO-030 amended); s.249 progress report due 31 December 2026 (S3 Upcoming dates).
"English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026 and Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025: full text not checked for AI." — EDCEA: no heading mentions AI, data, digital or technology (GOV-PARL-056, GOV-LOC-019 amended; contents page cut off after Schedule 21). PAFERA: no heading, and no wording in Schedule 3, mentions AI, algorithms or automated decisions (GOV-PARL-054, GOV-DWP-017 amended). Full section-by-section text of either Act was not read.
