This could drive individuals to source fireworks from illegitimate or unsafe suppliers, where products may not meet the UK’s safety requirements.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will continue to promote the safe and considerate use of fireworks.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 23/04/2021 13:30:56 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
