Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps she is taking to help ensure that businesses in the space sector can engage with her Department in delivery of the National Space Strategy.

The Government has made good progress delivering against every element of the National Space Strategy 10 Point Plan, which set out our initial focus areas. We will soon publish the next steps we are taking to: deliver the National Space Strategy, develop the policy which needs to underpin it, and the concrete action we are taking now to support the sector.

The Department regularly engages with businesses in the space sector that are crucial to delivering investment and sector growth.
