Fireworks: Regulation

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to consult on the regulation of fireworks.

Answered by Kate Dearden

The Government recognises that people hold a range of views on fireworks, including their impact on people, animals and local communities, as well as their importance to businesses and public events. The regulatory framework is kept under review, and I will continue to engage with business, consumer groups and charities to inform future policy decisions.
