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

There is a cost to data collection, and we must ensure that it is not disproportionate. However, in this case, given firework safety, the antisocial aspects of fireworks and the impact on animal welfare, the figure would have to be pretty enormous to fail to justify merely recording the causes of an incident when somebody arrives at accident and emergency or wherever. I think that the data are already collected; we merely require an adjustment.
