Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make an assessment of the report of the Commission to Assess United
States National Security Space Management and Organisation, presented to the Chairman of the Committee of Armed Services of the US
House of Representatives on 11 January, in respect of the aspects which have implications for United Kingdom security policy.

Mr. Hoon: We are aware of the report and await the US Department of Defense response to it. The outer space treaty places important
limitations on military activity in space without entirely prohibiting it. We do not want to see a general prohibition on military
use of space because, for example, as confirmed in the Strategic Defence Review, we perceive a continuing needs for secure satellite
communications for the armed forces. We do not support the further consideration of the use of outer space by the conference on
disarmament in Geneva.
