Improper use could potentially kill hundreds near airports

Police are set to be given powers to prevent the unsafe or criminal use of drones as part of a new package of legislation.

The measures are intended to allow drone users to continue flying safely & legally, helping to place the UK at the forefront of the fast-growing drone industry.  This will also pave the way for the devices to be harnessed for a range of uses by businesses and public services.
