Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on the future of the UK's involvement in the Galileo programme.

The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union has regular discussions with all Cabinet colleagues, including the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

I can confirm some of these discussions have included the UK’s relationship with the Galileo programme. The UK has made clear to our European partners our desire to continue the UK’s involvement in EU space programmes, including Galileo, provided that the UK, and UK companies, can continue to participate on a fair and open basis.
