National Campaign for Firework Safety
Our aim is to promote the safe use of  fireworks

Press Release for Friday 15 March 2002

On Friday 15 March 2002 there will be a meeting at the House of Commons.
COFFAW, Control Of Fireworks for Animal Welfare, have arranged a meeting to coincide with the second reading of the Firework Bill presented by Barry Gardiner MP. Unfortunately Mr Gardiner's Bill will proceed no further due to lack of parliamentary time. The gathering, which will be open to anyone interested in Firework Reforms, is to be held in a committee room in the House of Commons and begins at 11.30 am. If you feel strongly about this subject, and their abuses, please come along. You will be more than welcome.
Our Director Mr Noel Tobin has been asked to open the meeting.
There will be a photo-call before the meeting at 11.00 am, when a petition of 100,000 signatures will be handed over to MP's Tony Banks, Joan Ryan and Barry Gardiner. The petition has been carried out by COFFAW.
COFFAW (Control Of Fireworks for Animal Welfare) represents members of the public who want to prevent the unnecessary terror and injuries faced by animals and people alike through indiscriminate, irresponsible and prolonged use of fireworks
