Fireworks: Manufacturing Industries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to meet with fireworks industry stakeholders.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The Government continues to engage with the British Fireworks Association, businesses, consumer groups, and charities to understand the issues with and impacts of fireworks.
The insights from these discussions helped to inform the campaign that I launched for this year’s fireworks season which encourages the use of lower noise fireworks. The campaign materials have been shared widely to increase their impact. The Government will continue to gather evidence, including on the impact of fireworks on animals and vulnerable people to inform any future action.
