answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>Royal Assent of the Space Industry Bill on 15 March 2018 was a major milestone in establishing the environment for safe, responsible and commercial spaceflight operations from UK spaceports. We are now working swiftly to put in place the detailed regulations, including licence requirements for spaceports and spaceflight operators. We opened a call for evidence on 27 March that will assist in formulating policy related to liability, insurance and charging; and are continuing to engage with prospective licensees. We are planning to publish and consult on the detailed regulations in 2019. Once the detailed licensing requirements are in place, it will enable companies to apply to become a licenced spaceport or spaceflight operator.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 14/05/2018 16:17:30 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
