Written Question
Spaceflight: Liability
Monday 22nd July 2024

Asked by: Mark Garnier (Conservative - Wyre Forest)

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to limit the liability of licenced commercial spaceflight operators.

Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)

Guidance already specifies that all spaceflight operator licences issued under the Space Industry Act 2018 limit an operator’s liability. This Government will look at opportunities to amend Section 12(2) of the Act to make this clear in legislation under Section 36 of the Act.
