OPPOSITION Senator Foster Cummings and Independent Senator Anthony Vieira, SC, expressed their support for fireworks regulations outlined in the the Summary Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2025.

They expressed their views in their respective contributions to debate on the bill in the Senate on December 10. The House of Representatives passed the bill on December 9, with government and opposition MPs supporting it.

Cummings, a former La Horquetta/Talparo MP before the April 28 general election, said it is an encouraging development when government and opposition come together "to pass progressive legislation for good order in Trinidad and Tobago."
