A damp start to the day. A morning run and into the office. A brief from my parliamentary team, an allocation of tasks and follow-ups, before a virtual surgery meeting with a constituent. The case involved a rogue builder who has caused utter misery to several victims. The call was for more legislation to prevent these dubious people from getting away with it, time after time. At 1300, I had one of my regular virtual meetings with Weymouth Town Council Leader, Cllr David Harris, and the clerk, Jane Biscombe. They are both very helpful and we keep in touch to share local issues. Then at 1400, I headed to CR8 for another session of our Defence Committee. Today was the final evidence session of our Sub-Committee inquiry into AI. They've been fascinating and today was no less so. Our three witnesses were James Cartlidge MP, Minister for Defence Procurement, Paul Lincoln CB OBE VR, Second Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, and Lt Gen. Tom Copinger-Symes CBE, Deputy Commander, UK Strategic Command. We asked them about the MOD's AI strategy and how the leadership were being kept abreast of a fast-moving technology. We also used the session to challenge the MOD over its approach to developing Defence AI capacity, drawing on concerns and comments raised in evidence to the inquiry thus far. You can see the session on Parliament TV.
