Mr. Paul Rutherford:

I thank the Deputy. I am the principal environmental health officer, EHO, with the noise control unit. The current legislation that deals with noise control is the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992. Section 108 of that legislation cites what is a noise nuisance but under section 108(4)(a), it says this section shall not apply to aircraft. Under that legislation, we cannot deal with noise complaints about drones.
