§ 51. Mr. James Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if it is her intention to publish the consultative document on fireworks before Christmas; and if she will make a statement.
Mr. Alan WilliamsI intend to circulate the consultative documents as soon 521W as possible after this year's accident statistics, expected in February, become available. Copies will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament. As I announced on 4th November in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend, the consultations will form part of a full review of the present controls over fireworks.—[Vol. 880, c. 35–6.]
