Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much additional funding his Department plans to provide for space technology within the remit of the National Armaments Director.

The Strategic Defence Review published earlier this year has recommended that Defence must urgently develop the resilience of its military space systems.

The new Defence Investment Plan, which will be published in Autumn, will set out how we will deliver the Strategic Defence Review's vision and will be both deliverable and affordable.
