Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment the Government has made of the capacity of OneWeb’s mega-constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit to deliver Government ambitions for UK navigation technology.
We have made clear our ambitions for space and are developing a new National Space Strategy to bring long-term strategic and commercial benefits to the UK.
We are in regular discussions with the space industry as part of this work.
