Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce a legislative control framework before implementing the Future of Flight Action Plan.

We already have a regulatory framework for drones and eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing). Key legislation includes Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 on common rules in the field of civil aviation, Regulation (EU) 2019/945 on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), Regulation (EU) 2019/947 on the rules and procedures for the operation of unmanned aircraft, the Air Navigation Order 2016 and the Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft Act 2021.

The Action Plan outlines activities to identify and develop any further regulation as needed.
