  Petitions Committee report on fireworks

  Last year, the Petitions Committee investigated the issue of fireworks, after so many people signed petitions calling for greater restrictions on their sale and use by the general public. The Committee heard from people and organisations on all sides of the argument about fireworks.

  The Committee's report, with recommendations to the Government, was published on Tuesday 5 November 2019.

  The Government responded to the Committee's report in March this year. You can read the Government's response here: https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/421/documents/1566/default/
