Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has considered introducing a ban on the use of indoor pyrotechnics in nightclubs.

To inform any future decisions in relation to all fireworks, I will continue to engage with businesses, consumer groups and charities to gather evidence on the issues with and the impact of fireworks. Particularly given the recent tragic events in Switzerland, this will include any evidence on the risks and use of indoor firework products.
