| Message | Respectfully, The Federal Republican League as a matter of policy is against this proposal though, it is a wise one. It would be our desire to allow minors to purchase certain grades of harmless fireworks, sparklers and smoke-bombs and the likes while reserving more potent items to adults. As is, we must abstain from such a proposal. Signed, Deputy Minister of Health and Social Services, Julitta Gwenaëlle |
| Date | 06:11:14, March 22, 2008 CET | From | Solentian Populist Party | To | Debating the Fireworks Bill of May 2549 |
| Message | Respectfully, The United Democratic Party would, like the F.R.L., prefer that children be allowed to purchase innocent novelty fireworks, such as sparklers, smoke bombs, snappers, confetti poppers, etc. We are thoroughly against children being able to purchase dangerous fireworks and explosives, however. As it stands, we would support you on this legislation, but we would prefer that you modify it to allow the sale of innovent novelty items. As the F.R.L. has shown us, the bill would be more likely to pass if that alteration was made. Signed, Director of Health and Social Services, Amy Sapp |
