asked Her Majesty's Government

What has been the British contribution to, and level of participation in, the United Nations space conferences recently held in Vienna. [HL3996]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The UK contributed to all aspects of the Unispace III conference from its inception through planning and final execution. Over 80 people from the UK attended the conference in a range of capacities. They included exhibitors in the associated exhibition, members of the Technical Forum in space related workshops, those at the Space Generation Forum, which sought to develop young people's ideas for space, and those in the official delegation or in the delegations of international organisations of which the UK is a member.
