§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what was discussed, and what conclusions were reached, at his seminar on space policy with industry on 25 June; and what date has been set for the next one. [38891]
§ Mr. Ian Taylor[holding answer 23 July 1996]: The space policy forum I held on 25 June was extremely successful and was attended by representatives from across the space community. The forum considered the whole range of issues affecting the sector and made an invaluable contribution to the forward plan for UK space activities, which I am publishing today. This process forms an essential part of UK space policy. I look forward to further regular consultation with the space community within the framework set by the plan.
