I do believe that, if you’re under 18, you shouldn’t be able to buy fireworks. I think, if I remember rightly, fireworks are categorised. Category 4 fireworks can only be used by professionals. I think there needs to be an investigation into whether some fireworks sit in the right categories. So, rather than look at implementing a more widespread ban on the use of all fireworks, I think there is a case for looking at the power of some fireworks as to whether they should, in fact, be available to members of the public or are best left in the hands of professionals.
