Chamber and committees

Thank you very much, chief inspector. That was very helpful. I will come back to you later with a couple of questions about the potential for widening the offences, which I think was mentioned in your submission.

David, do you want to come in on that?

I think that David MacKenzie would like to come in on that.

Rona Mackay wants to come in on this topic. I will then move on to questions about fireworks controls.

I just want to clarify some of those questions and answers, for the record. The Government plans for licensing are to be in place by November next year. Its plan for this year is to have in place proxy purchase for under-18s by November 2022. I just wanted to clarify that point.

David MacKenzie, you were looking to come back in, but I do not know whether you wanted to comment or make another point.

Thank you—those are important points to bear in mind.

Pauline, do you want to come in at this point?

That is very helpful.

I will bring in Russell Findlay to pick up some questions on pyrotechnics.

Thank you. It is helpful to get that clarification.

We will move on to looking at the restrictions around the use and supply of fireworks. I will bring in Fulton MacGregor first, and then Russell Findlay has some further questions.

We will move on and talk about pyrotechnics, as we have not covered that yet.

That is fine.
