MPs are to hold an inquiry into the use of drones.
The investigation, by the Science and Technology select committee, comes after reports of a drone flying over Gatwick caused major disruption for two days before Christmas.
The drone reports caused hundreds of flights to be cancelled or diverted
It was followed by a similar but much smaller incident at Heathrow.
With the government planning a drones bill later in the year, the committee wants to examine the effectiveness of safety measures built into drones and what anti-drone technology is available.

Mr Hunt said the move was unlikely to be a "magic wand" to get her release but was an "important diplomatic step".
