Can I ask the Commissioner, in relation to community fire safety, your views on the sale of fireworks? 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?
