answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) work with a wide range of partners, including the British Airline Pilots' Association and the Police, to ensure our understanding of potential hazards to aircraft remains up to date. Work is underway to better understand the risk posed by drones to commercial aircraft and ensure that the regulatory and industry responses remain fit for purpose. The Government has conducted a consultation to determine if further measures are needed in this area and will be responding to this soon with its intended future actions.</p><p> </p><p>We have also been working closely with the CAA and industry to adapt and strengthen existing measures and mitigations as drone use and the related technology evolves. This has led to a safety awareness and education campaign aimed at leisure drone users, the launch of a new www.dronesafe.uk website, and a free new app ‘Drone Assist’ by NATS, which shows users where they should and should not fly in their locality.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 28/06/2017 11:09:45 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan for passenger rights to compensation for delay, cancellation, denied boarding and involuntary downgrading on air flights, as laid out in EU Regulation 261/2004, to be transposed in their entirety into UK law upon withdrawal from the EU.

uin	HL6693
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/04/2017 answer text <p>The Government is considering carefully all the potential implications arising from the UK’s exit from the EU, including future arrangements for passenger rights. The Great Repeal Bill will provide a functioning statute book on the day the UK leaves the EU. In addition to repealing the European Communities Act, the Bill will convert EU law into UK law as it stands at the moment before we leave the EU; and create temporary powers to make secondary legislation. The Bill aims to maximise certainty for individuals and businesses as we leave the EU. The Department for Transport is working closely with consumers and industry to best understand their requirements.</p><p /><p /> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/04/2017 13:28:46 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
