Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the expected return on investment for investments in Eutelsat OneWeb.
The UK Government's stake in Eutelsat and OneWeb supports UK strategic security and resilience in Low Earth Orbit satellite communications, helps drive UK-developed technology and space sector growth, increases global diversity in the market, and enhances UK-France security and defence collaboration. These benefits are expected to enhance the Ministry of Defence’s future deployed operations.
