A peer asked if the grid can carry Britain's data centres. The answer never says. It does let slip that ministers are busy managing speculative connection applications.

NetApp will keep your data, logs, backups, telemetry and support calls in Europe. Genuinely better than most vendors manage. It says nothing about jurisdiction, keys, or who can compel them.
