TORIES WON'T BUDGE OVER FIREWORK BAN

FIRE brigade and police unions have slammed the UK Government after it said it has "no plans" to restrict the sale of fireworks.

Tory business minister Kevin Hollinrake wrote to Alba MP Kenny MacAskill that the UK Government does not intend to change the law.

The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) Scotland said the Government is "refusing to listen to concerns of firefighters and the public".

The Scottish Police Federation (SPF) said restricting the sale "is one of the only ways" to stop antisocial behaviour.

East Lothian MP MacAskill also accused the Government of being "rudely dismissive".

It comes after the unions urged the UK Government to restrict the sale of fireworks following Bonfire Night chaos.
