§ Mr. BatisteTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement about the progress of the review of Government policy towards civil space. [39617]
§ Mr. Ian TaylorI hosted the second United Kingdom space policy forum at Queen Mary and Westfield college on Tuesday 25 June. This was a great success with almost 200 senior members of the UK space community attending. As a result of the forum and the wide-ranging discussions during the review, I am now publishing a "Forward Plan for UK Space Activities", copies of which are being placed in the Library of the House. The plan will be presented to the press tomorrow and will set out key goals for the UK civil space programme.
