I will have to go back and work out who told us that. What you say is at odds with what some of the authorities seem to think.

Just as Collette Stevenson’s pet subject is the volume associated with fireworks, my pet subject is the proposal for no-firework zones, which seem to have evolved into firework control areas. People might find it harder to understand the nuances of that. Would the industry support the introduction of no-firework zones, given that the biggest complaint seems to be about noise?

Mr Stevenson referred to some figures in his opening remarks, but I did not quite catch them. They were to do with the number of cases that are reported to the Crown Office by the police. Do you still have the number to hand?

Can you tell me who said that?

Anecdotally, the strongest outcome was the one with the 19-year-old that you talked about.

One thing that surprised me, as someone coming fresh to the subject, was that it is not illegal for over-18s to give fireworks to under-18s. Is that the case?

Which creates—

And that is before we even get to the issue of who decides where the zones will be, whether people will apply for them, whether there should be consensus locally, whether a local authority decision will be involved and so on.

I have a couple of quick questions that I do not think have been covered yet. First of all, Jamie Greene mentioned the proposed compensation. Has that provision been explained properly? Will it, in fact, make any fundamental difference, given the potential loss of trade?

I hear you. Thank you.
