Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 14 November 2016 to Question 52128, if the Government will reject any new proposals for further regulation of new Implementing Rules (Prototype) Regulations which are not proportionate to the risk and undermine the activities of modal aircraft clubs.

These rules are still at the proposal stage, and their primary purpose was to obtain feedback from European citizens. The Government is committed to the development of simple and proportionate regulations for unmanned aircraft and the Civil Aviation Authority will work with the European Aviation Safety Agency over the coming months, as part of an ‘expert rulemaking group’ in which the model flying associations are also represented, in order to achieve this.
