Proceeding contribution from Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 October 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Fireworks Safety.


Fireworks Safety

I am questioning the Minister, asking him whether he would be prepared to look at the issue, which I hope answers the hon. Gentleman's question. Surely nobody wants a fun firework night at the expense of the suffering of dumb animals. As for the little boy mentioned by the hon. Member for Windsor, is not the real fun of fireworks the spectacular display rather than the loud clashing and banging? I wish everyone a sparkling bonfire night, including my constituents in Solihull, who are to be treated to a free firework display run by the Round Table a week on Saturday, which is particularly welcome at this time of recession.
