Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has taken steps to update The Air Navigation Order 2016 to reflect advances in drone capability.
This question was answered on 8th September 2025
In 2023, the Department for Transport (DfT) commissioned the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to review the UK drone Regulation which was undertaken through a public consultation. The CAA published its consultation reply on 8 May 2025.
DfT is now updating the rules for drones to make them simpler, safer, and better suited to how they are used today and in the future. This includes updating the Air Navigation Order 2016.
