Friend that the blind people from my constituency who visited Parliament yesterday, with their guide dogs, are extremely grateful to him for introducing this Bill, and they expect the House to ensure that it has a speedy passage.
My constituents complain that existing regulations are not enforced, so we need to ensure that the police, trading standards and council officials realise the importance of enforcing regulations introduced under the Bill, and that people selling fireworks to children or letting off fireworks in the street are prosecuted.
Gentleman said, I imagine that his constituent was in the middle of the road when somebody threw a firework in the street.

Heywood and Middleton CC and Rochdale CC Five representations objected to the Commission's decision to include the Rochdale Borough ward of Bamford in Heywood and Middleton CC, instead of Rochdale CC as provisionally recommended.

I did not find the PM's question on asbestos a laughing matter, it was an insult to the memory of the thousands of men and women that have died as a result of exposure to asbestos.
Parliament seems to have adopted the same dangerous cavalier attitude to the issues of Rochdales Spodden Valley as the money-making developers of the site Countryside Properties.

This means that Blackley constituency is only beneath certain areas of Glasgow, Liverpool, County Durham and central Manchester in terms of the number of claimants.
Heywood and Middleton, with 6,500 residents currently off sick, is ranked at joint 75th for incapacity benefit claims and has just 20.9 per cent of residents classed as living in severely deprived areas.
Tony Blair has insisted the changes are to help the 90 per cent of Incapacity Benefit claimants who want to get back into work, but critics say that some of the most vulnerable people in society are being placed under undue pressure to come off benefits in order to save the government money.
