CHINESE SKY LANTERNS

That this House notes with concern the damage to property and death or injury to British livestock caused by discarded Chinese sky lanterns; expresses concern that, while high quality lanterns used accordingly to proper instructions are deemed safe, many poor quality lanterns which lack proper health and safety instructions are also readily available; encourages importers to demand 100 per cent. biodegradable lanterns that come with a high quality fuel source from manufacturers; and calls on the Government to continue ensuring that distributors sell the highest quality lanterns with comprehensive operating and safety instructions.
