Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the costs of reinstating the UK’s membership of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service.

The Government is considering options for UK access to a satellite-based augmentation system, following our withdrawal from the EU's European Geostationary Navigation Overlay (EGNOS) system. This work is ongoing and no decision has yet been made. The Government engages with the European Commission and European Space Agency on space programmes but has not specifically discussed access to EGNOS.
