Written Question

Fireworks: Scotland

Monday 28th November 2022

Asked by: Beth Winter (Labour - Cynon Valley)

Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether his Department has held discussions with representatives of the Scottish Government on the impact of recent Scottish legislation on firework sales.

Answered by Lord Jack of Courance

The Scottish Parliament passed its Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles (Scotland) Act 2022 in June 2022 and it received Royal Assent in August 2022. Fireworks policy covers both devolved and reserved areas of competence. My department and the Home Office regularly engage with the Scottish Government on matters relating to public safety.
