CONTROL OF FIREWORKS

Early day motion 901, tabled 31 October 2005 by Lee Scott (Conservative). Signed by 49 members.

That this House notes with very great concern the large numbers of people who are injured by the misuse of fireworks; whilst not wishing to end community enjoyment, urges the Government to restrict the sale of the most powerful fireworks; believes that requiring all suppliers of fireworks to the public to obtain permission from the local council would tackle the problems of firework misuse and illegal distribution; and calls on the Government to bring forward proposals for restriction on the times of day that fireworks can be used.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Conservative 10, Liberal Democrat 10, DUP 4.
