Criminal Justice Committee

Fireworks and Pyrotechnic Articles (Scotland) Bill: Stage 2

Meeting date: 25 May 2022

Russell Findlay

I will just respond to that directly. There is a mechanism to revoke licences, which would include consideration of certain convictions, but that is subject to further discussion.

The point about cost is a good one. I wonder whether, if there was a two-year limit or something like that, there would be a way of having an initial cost of obtaining a licence that was set at whatever number is arrived at, and then a renewal cost that was a fraction of that.

As ever, we have barely touched the sides, and there is much more that we could have gone into, but I appreciate everyone’s time today. If there are any issues that you need to follow up, I ask you to do so in writing, please. I thank you all for your time.

Alison Penman, from the perspective of child protection, do you think that enough resource is going into investigating this kind of stuff?

We have time for a brief question from Jamie Greene.

Indeed. With respect to the first point, a letter to the Scottish Prison Service about prescriptions is in hand. Stephen Imrie can address the second point.

The next item relates to our visit to the Wise Group last week. I refer members to paper 6. I put on record our sincere thanks to the Wise Group for hosting us and telling us about the important work that it does. I found the visit incredibly interesting. I invite members to say what they took from the visit or to give any observations.

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service is not here to explain why it is choosing not to do FAIs. Would you support FAIs?
