Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with counterparts in the Scottish Government on the military-commercial uses of future spaceports in Scotland.
The Ministry of Defence works with the UK Space Agency (UKSA) to support the delivery of commercial UK launch. Defence Ministers have not had any contact with Scottish Government counterparts on this subject.
Any engagement on UK spaceports with the Scottish Government would currently be conducted through the UKSA-led programme.
