Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what plans she has to publish its comparative assessment of the UK’s space sector performance relative to other G7 countries, including trends in a) sector growth and b) global market share over the past three years.

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) performs comparative analysis of the UK’s space sector relative to other countries to be used in the formulation of policy and advice to ministers. The data used to produce the analysis is commercially sensitive, and therefore there are no current plans to publish this assessment.
