answer text <p>In May this year, the Government amended the Air Navigation Order to restrict drones from flying above 400ft and within 1km of an airport boundary. These measures came into effect in July this year. The amendments also introduced the registration of all drone operators with drones of 250g and over, as well as competency tests for remote pilots of drones of 250g and over. These will come into effect in November 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is currently consulting on measures to be included in a draft Drones Bill such as greater police powers against the misuse of drones and proposals for regulating and mandating the use of safety ‘apps’ and counter-drone technology. A draft Drones Bill is due to be published shortly.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government’s position, as set out most recently in the 12 July White Paper, is that a future UK-EU relationship on development would be in our mutual interest. As part of this relationship we have proposed a cooperative accord on development assistance and international action.</p><p>We have identified some specific thematic areas where there is a strong case for such a UK-EU strategic partnership, such as humanitarian aid, migration and peace and security. However, other thematic and geographic areas could also be considered, as new challenges emerge, where a UK-EU partnership may be the best approach.</p><p>Any UK participation would require appropriate influence and oversight over UK funds, at the strategic and programme level, as well as eligibility for UK entities to deliver EU programmes and apply for funding on an open and fair basis.</p><p><strong><br></strong></p> more like this
