Ministry of Defence: Palantir Contracts

Contribution

My Lords, it is of note that, as reported by openDemocracy, one of the Labour Party’s largest donations, if not the largest, of £4 million, came from a hedge fund called Quadrature, which has holdings in Blackstone. The openDemocracy website reported that it stood to benefit from government contracts awarded to the likes of Palantir. Will the Minister address this and, if he is unable to do so today, undertake to write and provide further information about that donation, and whether the conflicts were properly examined?
