The Ministry of Defence works with the UK Space Agency (UKSA) to support the delivery of commercial UK launch. Defence Ministers have not had any contact with Scottish Government counterparts on this subject.

Any engagement on UK spaceports with the Scottish Government would currently be conducted through the UKSA-led programme.
