Motion text

That this House welcomes The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association's campaign to increase controls on the sale and use of fireworks; notes the cost, in human and financial terms, incurred as a result of the premature retirement, sedation, or retraining of guide dogs which have been traumatised by fireworks; further notes the increase in firework-related injuries, as well as the threat fireworks pose to the wellbeing and peace of mind of many older people; calls for the proper licensing of firework retailers and display organisers; calls for limits to be placed on the times of the year during which fireworks can be bought by the public, and the times of the day during which they can be used; and recognises that concern about fireworks is now shared by an increasingly broad range of people and organisations who do not want to ruin anyone's celebrations, but do not want to see people's lives ruined either.
