Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Chris Skidmore and Alistair Carmichael

Tuesday 19th March 2019 Commons Chamber

[Chris Skidmore]

I went to Northern Ireland to see Thales and the work that it is doing on some of the satellite applications. Up in Sutherland in Scotland, we have a £31.5 million investment in vertical space launch. We want to ensure that our space industry—one of the fastest-growing industries in all of business—covers the whole of the UK.
