<p>I refer the hon Member to the answer I gave her on 16th July 2018 to Question <a

the Prime Minister announced on 28 August that the UK Space Agency would look at options
for a UK Global Navigation Satellite System, using £92m of funds from the Government’s
Brexit readiness fund. This work will refine and validate the cost estimates for a
UK system that have already been developed, and define the preferred approach to deliver
a UK system which will be subject to a full business case. Contracts in support of
this phase have yet to be let and so there are no new liabilities for the public purse.</p>
