HC Deb 01 December 1993 vol 233 c560W
Mrs. Bridget Prentice

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make it his policy to keep a record of the countries which export fireworks to Britain; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

I have been asked to reply.

I am replying as the Minister with responsibility for controls on importation of fireworks. The Health and Safety Executive already keeps records of countries which export fireworks to Britain and will continue to do so.
