The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether he plans to continue investment in national space data activities.

Answered by Chris Bryant

Yes. The Government is investing significantly to support this element of space activity in the UK, with over £310 million of funding already committed through the European Space Agency, and a further £390 million through our membership in the EU’s Copernicus programme over the coming 3 years. Further investment decisions are a matter for the upcoming spending review.
