PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(9 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what plans he has for the future of the Geospatial Commission's Earth observation data pilot.

Asked by:
George Freeman (Conservative)

Answer

The Earth Observation data pilot came to an end in 31 March 2024. Working with optical, thermal and SAR data from space satellites, the pilot demonstrated that increased use of this data could improve evidence-based analysis and enhance front-line delivery in the public sector to support the provision of digital government services for citizens. The work will inform decisions on the procurement, accessibility and use of earth observation across the public sector.
