Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to take steps to ensure no future allocation of lower airspace takes place until a policy on the allocation of lower airspace has been agreed and implemented by the Civil Aviation Authority.

Airspace is allocated in accordance with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) classifications of airspace. As set out in the Civil Aviation Authority (Air Navigation) Directions 2017, the CAA is responsible for the policy on the classification of UK airspace, how this is implemented, as well as its modification through the CAA’s airspace change process. The government has no plans to review this.
