To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether the publication on 18 March of Copyright and Artificial Intelligence: Impact Assessment that does not establish a preferred option fully discharges their obligations under section 135 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025; and if not, what further steps they are required to take under that section of the Act.

Section 135 required the Secretary of State to prepare and publish an assessment of the economic impact in the United Kingdom of each of the four policy options that were consulted on in relation to copyright law and the training of artificial intelligence models using copyright works. The impact assessment published on 18 March assessed the potential impact of each of those four options.
