REGULATION OF FIREWORKS

Early day motion 328, tabled 7 December 2004 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 26 members.

That this House welcomes the campaign of Moira Chambers of Leicester to prevent fireworks continuing until the early hours of the morning; is concerned that fireworks are increasingly becoming disruptive; notes that there is also a disturbing increase in what can be called anti-social and even criminal use to destroy property and to harm people and animals; further notes that the demand on local fire and police crews has increased as more fires break out and injuries occur as a result of mishandled fireworks; and calls on local government to take action to prevent fireworks becoming a public nuisance.
