Asked by Abtisam MohamedLabourDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 21 November 2025UIN 90946

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to conduct a review into the adequacy of fireworks legislation.

Answered by Kate Dearden

No recent assessment has been made of the adequacy of current legislation governing fireworks. Building on the work of my predecessor, I will continue to engage with businesses, consumer groups and charities to gather evidence on the issues with and impacts of fireworks to inform any future action.
