answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2015 answer text <p>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 intend to consult on all of these issues and other possible solutions in 2016.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 15/12/2015 16:51:32 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
