Space Industry Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Fox (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 November 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Space Industry Bill [HL].

The noble Lord has stolen many of my lines. There seem to be a lot of loose ends here. I reiterate his question about how much of the Bill applies to a Crown dependency in the event that it builds a spaceport. Are we looking just at the right to do it, or are all the other provisions of the Bill in place in a Crown dependency situation? The point that the noble Lord made very well is: are we in danger of allowing people to set up low-cost competitors in an industry that we are hoping to run from the United Kingdom mainland?
