Sarah Owen MP has issued an update on her Fireworks Bill:

“So what’s happening to my Fireworks Bill?

You might have noticed that the Fireworks Bill was down to be debated on 31 October 2025 – but as Parliament is not sitting, it’s been moved to a new day. We don’t know when or if it’ll get a debate – we can’t wait, so I’m carrying on the campaign. During this firework season, I have:

• Kept in ongoing contact with Bedfordshire Police and Luton Council to ensure fireworks complaints are being actioned and monitored & information about firework use is distributed.
• Written to supermarkets asking them to stop their shop displays promoting fireworks.
• Sponsoring an event in Parliament for the Fireworks Impact Coalition, which will be on the 12th November – if you’re not in Luton North, please encourage your MP to go. This is a nationwide issue.
• Secured a meeting with the new Minister responsible to get an in-person update on how fireworks legislation is being reviewed.
• Working alongside animal, armed forced and mental health charities to spread the word about our campaign to limit the sale of the loudest fireworks.

It’s been over a year since I introduced my Bill to Parliament. In that time, the problem hasn’t gone away, and I know in Luton, it feels like it’s getting worse.

I continue to push for common-sense changes to our fireworks laws. To end the licensing loophole, ban the loudest from public sale & limit their use to licensed pyrotechnic professionals in organised displays.”
