Section 23—Alignment of days when licence required to supply
64.Regulation 9(1) of the Fireworks Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1836) provides that a licence is required to supply category F2, F3 and F4 fireworks on any day other than those specified in regulation 9(2). Section 23 amends regulation 9 to provide that the days on which such a supply licence is not required is to align with the days on which fireworks may generally be sold under the Act (by virtue of section 22). In the event that the days specified in the Fireworks Regulations 2004 are adjusted, the Act will still bring them into line with the days set out in section 22. However, should those Regulations be replaced or revoked, the power in section 53 of the Act may be used to make such changes as are necessary to maintain the alignment.
