To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Education on the establishment of a Space Skills Taskforce.
Answer
Al CarnsNo meetings have so far taken place, however, developing the United Kingdom's Space sector is an important part of this Government's commitment to supporting jobs, security and prosperity for our country as shown in the Defence Space Strategy.
The Space Ministerial Forum has met 3 times since it was set up in early 2025.
