Fireworks: Regulation
Monday 13th November 2023

Asked by: Lord Black of Brentwood (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to ban the sale of domestic fireworks in England; and if not, whether they will undertake a consultation on that subject.

Answered by Earl of Minto - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

The majority of individuals who use fireworks do so in a responsible and safe manner. There are enforcement mechanisms in place to tackle situations when fireworks are misused.

The Government has no plans to ban the sale of domestic fireworks or consult on this matter at this current time.
