The Fireworks Act 2003 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, granted royal assent on 18 September 2003. It was the first such act since those of 1951 and 1964 and is notable as the enabling legislation for the Fireworks Regulations 2004.[1] It wholly or partly repealed six acts from between 1974 and 2001 and amended a sentence of the Explosives Act 1875, with the latter's provision (section 80) against throwing or discharging a firework in a street or public place remaining in force until the present day.[2]
