Written Question

Fireworks

Friday 9th September 2016

Asked by: Martyn Day (Scottish National Party - Linlithgow and East Falkirk)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make it his policy to require individuals and organisations to be licensed to purchase fireworks.

Answered by Margot James

I have no plans to require individuals and organisations to be licensed to purchase fireworks.

There is already legislation dealing with the sale and purchase of fireworks, including age restrictions and a ban on the general public from purchasing fireworks with higher levels of risk and noise.
