HC Deb 27 October 1975 vol 898 c377W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what advice she is giving to local authorities in communicating with the public about dealing with the siting and organisation of firework displays.

Mr. Alan Williams

Detailed guidance on how to organise a fireworks display is given in a leaflet entitled "Guidance on organised fireworks displays" issued by my Department. Some 30,000 copies have so far been sent to local authorities, who have been asked to arrange local publicity and to make copies available free on request to interested parties.

Mr. Ovenden

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will make a statement about her consultations concerning the law on the sale and use of fireworks.

Mr. Alan Williams

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave earlier today to my hon. Friend the Member for Cannock (Mr. Roberts).
