answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government takes the safety risks of drones to aviation very seriously. We have already taken action on this by working with the Civil Aviation Authority and industry to raise awareness of the rules amongst drone operators and the general public. The Government intends to introduce further measures once we have fully analysed the evidence presented through our consultation process. We are exploring options, such as improving deterrents for the misuse of drones and measures to improve communication to drone users of ‘no drone flying zones’, including around airports. The Government response to the consultation will be published in the near future.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 17/07/2017 14:42:23 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
