The motion

That this House condemns the Department for Health and Social Care over the lack of transparency and public scrutiny around the decision to grant Palantir the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) contract; highlights reports around Lord Mandelson's role in helping Palantir secure Government contracts; expresses regret at the impact this has had on public trust in politics; calls for the Government to publish any and all documents, minutes or correspondence between Ministers, Government Advisers or Senior Civil Servants and Palantir, Lord Mandelson or Global Counsel in relation to the FDP procurement process; further calls on the Government to publish full, unredacted versions of any agreements or contracts between the Department for Health and Social Care and Palantir; and urges the Secretary of State to develop British-based alternatives to Palantir systems so that the firm's NHS contracts can expire at the earliest possible date.
