Clause 4 - Prohibition of supply etc.
Fireworks Bill
3:15 pm
Mr Michael Weir (Angus, Scottish National Party)
I raise just a small point of difficulty in relation to dealing with the matter in an antisocial behaviour Bill. My understanding is that such provisions would not apply in Scotland, so the Scottish Parliament would have to pass separate legislation to deal with the particular difficulties of possession. Although I am not opposed to that, it may lead to different interpretations north and south of the border on the possession of fireworks. That should be
considered when deciding the best way to deal with the problem.
