Department for Transport written question – answered at on 14 June 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment his Department has made of the potential economic benefits of commercial drone use.
The potential economic value of drones is huge and, in May 2018, PwC announced that the social and economic benefits of their use could add £42 billion to GDP by 2030. Drones are already being used to great effect by our emergency and search and rescue services, the public sector and charities to drive more efficient ways of working, monitor environmental change, and assist infrastructure inspections and construction.
