§ Mr. PikeTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what further consultation he proposes to conduct in relation to the use and control of fireworks; what is his timetable; and if he will make a statement. [14415]
Mr. John M. TaylorI expect to make an announcement shortly of the conclusions arising from my review of the voluntary and statutory controls on fireworks. If it is considered appropriate to tighten the existing statutory controls, a public consultation on specific proposals will be undertaken.
