Newswire : Not with a bang

1 November 1997

Next week鈥檚 Guy Fawkes celebrations up and down Britain will be the last for
which bangers and small rockets will be on general sale. From 1 January 1998,
bangers and rockets less than 12 millimetres in diameter and 30 centimetres long
will be banned from shops. Bangers were blamed for one-third of the 1200
reported accidents with fireworks in Britain last year.
