Space: EU Action
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions he has had with his EU counterparts on UK participation in the EU Space Programme.
Answered by Chris Bryant
A Government priority is for a ‘reset’ in relations with the European Union, with a particular focus on driving economic growth, and improving our security and trade relationship.
Space has a fundamental role to play in achieving these ambitions, and we will continue to work closely with EU counterparts to identify areas to strengthen our space cooperation for mutual benefit. Discussions are taking place across Government regarding future UK participation in the next EU Space Programme, ahead of the next Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF). We will continue to engage with the EU Commission as this work progresses.
