The Commons Science Committee said Palantir's role in the NHS and other departments is an "unacceptable point of weakness". It said reliance on a small number of US-based tech providers amounts to a "clear vulnerability" that could leave public services “at the mercy of foreign actors".
Palantir said the MPs were "trying to grab a quick headline at the expense of their own constituents' care".
