Proceeding contribution from Adam Afriyie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 October 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Fireworks Safety.
Fireworks Safety
Very much so, which is why I mentioned in my opening remarks that we have to consider the irresponsible use of fireworks at non-designated times, which can have a dreadful impact. In Windsor, we have two race courses and a wonderful array of wildlife, but horses, dogs and cats are startled by the use of fireworks. It is really important to consider that, especially when there is a legal obligation on the owners of pets and animals to take care of their well-being. There is a bit of a conflict, therefore, and I hope that it will be explored further during the debate.
