• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 24 October 2007

Could I stop you there. I have got some questions and not very much time. Perhaps I can ask all my questions then you can just answer as best you can. The first question is how are you going to enforce all this, because that always seems to be the problem with councils actually being able to enforce codes. My view on all this, about trying to get to Level 3, is that it is just utterly unambitious. If you think that the houses we build now are going to be here for at least 50 years and possibly 100...

Can I just pursue this point, to agree with Jenny's point - the fuel poverty point - that by focusing on the affordable housing you get an added social benefit, but the Strategy focuses on the larger strategic developments.

I have had a number of complaints from constituents over the availability of fireworks in supermarkets. Indeed, in my local branch of Tesco they were on sale between the Golden Delicious and Bananas, with a special two-for-one offer. Do you share concerns of a number of us on the easy availability, in supermarkets in particular, of fireworks?

John Biggs (AM): I agree absolutely with what you as Chair have said, and I am somewhat satisfied by the responses from the Fire Authority, but I am wondering whether, rather than resting on a sort of annual flurry of sound bites about this, we should develop a strategy across the whole Authority - Borough Authority, Mayor, lobbying for legislation which actually helps to take this forward - without denying people the opportunity for pleasure and innocent fun.
