We are pleased to see the progress being made at spaceports across the country and with the pace at which SaxaVord Spaceport, which has been almost entirely privately funded, is developing. SaxaVord Spaceport is now likely to be the first spaceport ready for vertical orbital launch activities. International experience shows that spaceports usually require ongoing support from government. The Government should address how it intends to support the UK launch sector during the years ahead. It should set out, in response to this Report, whether it will provide ongoing financial support and in what form that support will take.
