It is more that the minister’s answers raised issues that I want to ask about. She has partly answered my question in that she said that there was a constitutional problem with introducing the legislation that she might want to introduce. I think that she said that there are problems with banning fireworks. It would be good to get more information on that.

The complicated part of the bill is the licensing scheme. Are there any constitutional problems with the Parliament’s powers that affect that aspect of the bill?

A lot of proposals that have been made in the evidence would require the committee to have a lot more data. You are probably not best placed to provide most of that. However, the first point in your action plan is that there should be an annual national safety awareness campaign, jointly funded by the industry and the Government. How much does the industry currently spend on education and awareness?

I think that I have heard about those videos. However, that is quite a small amount of money to spend. I presume that you are a multimillion pound industry that makes massive profits. Over the past 20 years, how much resource have you devoted to education and awareness-raising activity that might help to deal with some of the challenges that the committee is attempting to grapple with? You might be able to provide that in writing after the meeting.

I would be grateful if the witnesses would outline their views on the actual extent of the misuse of fireworks in Scotland and whether they think that the legislation is a disproportionate response, because the committee has received a number of submissions suggesting that this level of action is not required. I start by asking Nicola Robison for her response to that point.

That is helpful. Julie Whitelaw, do you feel that the legislation is proportionate given the actual extent of the misuse of fireworks?

The Fire Brigades Union speaks about a number of injuries to its members. To what extent are the injuries associated with some of those incidents?

When you are further ahead with your thinking, will you share information with the committee, perhaps in writing, if you cannot share more information now?

That is right—the question is for Police Scotland. What approach will it take to the import of fireworks? The most obvious example is that people could buy fireworks in England and bring them over the border.

Thank you for that. I put the same question to David MacKenzie. Could you outline your views on the actual extent of the misuse of fireworks and on whether the proposed legislation is proportionate from your perspective?

How would you quantify the current extent of the misuse of fireworks? How much of a problem is it?
