Thanks very much. I am keen to move questions on, because I have a few other themes to cover. I will bring in Pauline McNeill and then I would like to move to questions on licensing.

Meeting date: 30 March 2022

Audrey Nicoll

That is a helpful clarification because we have been considering the option to pull off that part of the bill and deal with it separately so that we would not be restricted to the current timescales in considering the other provisions.

Thank you very much. We have some more questions on the impact of the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020, on some financial issues and on delegated powers, but we will write to you and ask for written responses to those.

I thank the minister and her team for joining us. We will now move into private session.

Criminal Justice Committee

Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 30 March 2022

Audrey Nicoll

Thank you very much, minister. We will move directly to questions. I ask members to make their questions as succinct as possible.

I will open up with a general question for you, minister. One of the policy objectives of the bill, as you outlined, is to support what is almost a cultural shift in how fireworks and pyrotechnics are used, changing our relationship with them. Can you explain in broad terms how you envisage that cultural change being brought about through the provisions of the bill that we are discussing today?
