The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps he is taking to replace the Galileo scheme.

Answered by Chris Bryant

There are no plans to replace the EU’s Global Navigation Satellite System – Galileo – with a UK system. The Government is implementing the October 2023 Government Policy Framework for Greater Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Resilience, which will provide greater resilience for the PNT services that the UK relies upon in the event of any disruption to Global Navigation Satellite Systems.
