Galileo System

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has for the UK to access to the EU's Gallileo system.

Answer

The UK will not seek to access Galileo as we will not be able to assure its services for use in defence and critical national infrastructure.

Dedicated work is ongoing across Government to determine the UK’s positioning, navigation, and timing requirements, and to assess options for meeting them.
