Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had in the last year with the European Union about the UK rejoining the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service Safety of Life service for aviation.

The department is currently undertaking a review of the transport case and practicalities of rejoining the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). The aim is for a decision to be made by the end of the year following this review. Any negotiations with the European Union would be subject to the outcome of this review and as such, no formal discussions with the European Union have yet begun.
