HC Deb 05 March 2002 vol 381 cc152-3W
Linda Perham

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what her policy is on reducing nuisance caused by fireworks. [39757]

Miss Melanie Johnson

I understand the depth of current concerns about fireworks, particularly in relation to neighbourhood safety, noise and nuisance. We are now actively considering with relevant government departments what action can be taken within existing legislation to address these growing problems. I am also having further talks with the industry.
