Fireworks: Public Sales

Proceeding contribution from Toby Perkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 November 2018. It occurred during e-petition debate on Fireworks: Public Sales.

The hon. Gentleman is making a rather curmudgeonly speech about fireworks, if he does not mind me saying so. I understand the point he makes about the huge display here in London, but a great deal of enjoyment is found by many different people in smaller displays in their local communities. My children greatly enjoy going to our back window to see the displays over Chesterfield, such as on fireworks night. Smaller displays can be tremendously enjoyable, but we are all concerned about those people who use them irresponsibly or cause danger. They are the ones we want to clamp down on.
