Section 50—Report on operation of Act
116.Section 50 requires the Scottish Ministers to prepare a report on the operation of the Act (i.e., how it is working) after 5 years. The report is to be laid before Parliament.
117.The report must include, in respect of the five-year period:
information in relation to proceedings and convictions in respect of fireworks related offences,
information about the numbers of incidents (short of a crime) involving a firework or pyrotechnic article, and
information about the views and experiences of people in communities about the use (and misuse) of fireworks and pyrotechnic articles. This is likely to involve focus groups and research with others in communities.
