To clarify, Mr. Herrick is saying that, as far as he knows, none of the bodies designated as fundamental rights regulators of high-risk AI under the EU AI Act have been given any extra resources to enable them to do that work.

To my knowledge, no. We have taken the initiative to convene meetings of the designated Article 77 bodies. From our perspective, we are examining how we might co-operate and collaborate, but that is within existing resources. There has not been direct engagement with the Government on how it envisages us carrying out this function and what we might require to do that.
