Clause 9 - Prohibition of importation etc. of fireworks
Fireworks Bill
3:45 pm
Mr John Robertson (Glasgow Anniesland, Labour)
Does my hon. Friend the Minister accept that the amount may be small at the moment, but that it is a good way for people to circumvent the law? I understand that the internet may cause a problem in many instances, but mail order is different: it must come through some form of customs if it is coming from outside the country, and it can be seen.
My problem with the internet is that sales can be made outside the country but posted inside it. I accept what my hon. Friend says, but I believe that we can do something about mail order.
