Defence: Space Technology
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to recommendation 49 of the Strategic Defence Review: Making Britain Safer: secure at home, strong abroad, published on 2 June 2025, how much will his Department invest into the resilience of UK military space systems in each financial year of the current Parliament.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Work to deliver Strategic Defence Review recommendation 49 will be set out in the Defence Investment Plan due for release in the Autumn. This work is critical to ensuring Defence-wide capability prioritisation is conducted to understand where the greatest requirements rest.
Government investment will build on the current UK Space ecosystem to prioritise, cohere and unlock the nation's space potential. Government Departments are working collaboratively to identify space synergies and common priorities to ensure a coherent approach.
