Proceeding contribution from Robert Flello (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 October 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Fireworks Safety.


Fireworks Safety

I have noticed that the information provided with fireworks talks about the distance that should be maintained from the lit firework—for example, 25 metres. Given the trend towards smaller gardens, should the recommended distances be replaced with warnings that particular fireworks are not suitable for small gardens? That could make matters clearer and more specific and would stop people buying fireworks that they think are appropriate for the size of their garden, but are in fact not.
