Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make it his policy to ban the sale of high decibel fireworks to the public.
There is a comprehensive regulatory framework already in place for fireworks that the Government believes strikes the right balance for people to enjoy fireworks, whilst aiming to reduce risks and disturbances to both people and animals.
Existing legislation already limits the noise level of fireworks available to consumers to a maximum of 120 decibels.
