Fireworks committee seeks evidence

Report due before Tynwald by July

A committee investigating whether the Island's fireworks laws need updating is seeking submissions.

The panel was set up after Tynwald voted to look into a petition by Judith Corrin, calling for tighter restrictions on fireworks displays.

Those who wish to comment on the matter are being asked to make written submissions by 25 March by emailing committees@tynwald.org.im, or by post to Legislative Buildings.

The committee is due to report back to Tynwald by July.
