National Space Council
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential merits of reconstituting the National Space Council.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Ministry of Defence along with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and other Departments, remains committed to ensuring that space activities are effectively coordinated across government. Ministers from across Government met on the 22 April to discuss our approach, and the Strategic Defence Review has recommended that a Cabinet sub-committee or equivalent be used to take forward our space strategy. This will be developed by Government to ensure strong Ministerial support for this vital area.
