The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what his planned timetable is for the next launch from a UK spaceport.

Answered by Chris Bryant

The next UK launch will be delivered by Rocket Factory Augsburg from SaxaVord Spaceport in Scotland later this year. This will be the first vertical launch from the UK and will be a significant step for the UK space sector. Several UK spaceports are now in, or close to being, in operation.
