How she will ensure that regulatory frameworks keep pace with advancing drone technology and its potential for misuse.

The Department for Transport keeps the regulatory framework governing the use of uncrewed aircraft under regular review to ensure it remains proportionate, effective and fit for purpose, including in residential and sensitive areas. Following a review of the UK’s drone regulatory framework, new drones weighing 250g or more are required, from 1 January 2026, to be equipped with direct remote identification before being placed on the market. From 2028, remote identification will be mandatory for all drones over 250g and all drones with cameras over 100g. On 5 May, the Government announced an investment of £20.5m in a world-leading Hybrid Remote ID system to meet future security and airspace needs and improve traceability and accountability of drone operations. This will allow authorised authorities to identify and track drones and their operators in both real time and historic records to tackle illegal and unsafe drone use. We are also introducing enhanced identity verification by linking drone registration records to verified real‑world identities. The police powers introduced by the Air Traffic Management and Unmanned Aircraft (ATMUA) Act 2021 alongside the CAA’s Registration and Education service, combined with the Hybrid Remote ID and identity verification ensure that all drone use receives the same high degree of oversight to ensure safety and acceptable use.

What assessment she has made of the potential impact of restricting or banning lawful demonstrations on community relations and levels of antisemitism; and what steps she is taking to distinguish between antisemitic conduct and legitimate political protest.

Antisemitism has absolutely no place in our society, which is why this Government is taking strong action to tackle it in all its forms, wherever it happens.This Government is committed to protecting the right to peaceful protest, while ensuring public order legislation balances freedom of expression with protecting the public from serious disruption or harm. Under the Public Order Act 1986 the police have powers to place conditions on protests, and it is for individual forces to determine the most appropriate approach based on the specific context. Under section 13 of the Public Order Act 1986, if a chief officer of police assesses that conditions alone will not be sufficient to prevent serious public disorder, they can seek the Home Secretary's consent to ban a march. However, the request must come from a chief officer and the Home Secretary cannot initiate a ban. There is no power to ban static assemblies.The new Crime and Policing Act 2026 introduces measures such as Cumulative Disruption and Places of Worship provisions, designed to strengthen police powers to address intimidation and harm directed at communities, including the Jewish community, while safeguarding the right to peaceful protest. The police have our full support to take appropriate action when protests cross the line from peaceful demonstration to serious disruption.Lord Macdonald of River Glaven is undertaking a review that will address whether the existing legislation is effective and proportionate, whether it adequately protects communities from intimidation and hate, and whether it strikes a fair and sustainable balance between the right to freedom of expression and peaceful protest, and the need to prevent disorder and keep communities safe. The review is underway and will report its findings to the Home Secretary by the end of May 2026.
