PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Unmanned Air Vehicles: Sales (7 December 2015)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Mark Pritchard (Conservative)
Answer
The Civil Aviation Authority keeps a record of all the permissions they have issued to fly commercial drones in UK airspace. However this does not extend to leisure users of drones. To address this the Department for Transportis currently looking at a range of options including regulation, registration and licensing options and a database to increase transparency on the use of drones for the general public. We will be looking to address these issue without placing unnecessary bureaucratic burden on this emerging industry. We intend to consult on all of these issues and other possible solutions in 2016.
