answer text <p>Civilian Remotely Piloted Aircraft operations are closely regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority and are treated in the same manner as that of equivalent manned aircraft. However, until such time that remotely piloted aircraft systems can demonstrate that they are both airworthy and capable of avoiding other airspace users, all operations must be contained within segregated airspace, to which access for manned aircraft is prevented or closely controlled.</p><p> </p><p>The use of unmanned aircraft is specifically covered by the Air Navigation Order, which legislates for the ‘general’ flying aspects and the flight of those equipped for surveillance. As well as these specific articles, a more general article which prevents a person ‘causing or permitting an aircraft to endanger the safety of any person or property’ also remains applicable.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government does not regulate the minimum leg room to accommodate tall people seated on buses, underground and railway trains and United Kingdom operated aeroplanes.</p><p> </p><p>Accessibility legislation for buses, underground and railway trains does require extra, defined amounts of clearance at certain percentages of seats in order to enable persons of reduced mobility to use those seats comfortably. Taller passengers might wish to make use of this additional space, although they would need to vacate those seats when needed by someone who has priority – such as pregnant women or people with mobility difficulties.</p><p> </p><p>The only regulations on aircraft seating relate to the spacing needed to ensure that passengers can evacuate the aircraft quickly in an emergency.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government takes a leading role in EU negotiations on new car and van CO2 regulations which are the major driver of greenhouse gas emissions reductions in cars and vans. The UK fleet is currently ahead of these targets in terms CO2 reduction and emits 22% less CO2 than in 2007. Pollutant emissions (for example particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)) are regulated by European (‘Euro’) Emission Standards standards.　 These have become increasingly stringent and delivered large reductions for most pollutants.　 Government’s focus is now achieving real world reductions of NOx for diesel vehicles as new standards are introduced (Euro 6 for cars and vans, Euro VI for buses and lorries). The Government is committed to making the UK a global leader in the design, manufacture and uptake of ultra low emission vehicles which address both carbon and air quality issues. Uptake of these vehicles has increased fourfold year on year and they are approach 1% of new car sales.</p> more like this
