Space: Cabinet Committees
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference paragraph 31 on page 21 of the Strategic Defence Review, published on 2 June 2025, which Department will lead the Cabinet sub-Committee on space.
Answered by Luke Pollard
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 23 July 2025 to Question 68516 to the right hon. Member for Solihull West and Shirley (Dr Neil Shastri -Hurst), where I stated ‘I welcome the hon. Gentleman’s interest in space. The Ministry of Defence along with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and other departments, is coordinating space activities across government. Ministers from across government met on the 22 April to discuss space and, since the publication of the Strategic Defence Review, Ministers met on 7 July to follow up on our approach to space. We remain committed to establishing and evolving the right space governance structure to ensure that activities are effectively coordinated across all relevant Departments.’
