I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave her on 16 January 2018 to Question 122184. The principle set out in the Joint Report issued by the UK and EU negotiating teams on 8 December was that UK entities would be able to continue to participate in all EU programmes financed by the current Multiannual Financial Framework which ends in 2020. There will be further discussions on the individual programmes during Phase 2 of the negotiations. My rt hon Friend the Secretary of State and I continue to engage regularly with the UK space sector companies involved in the Galileo programme.
