However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.

Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.

He made the announcement while unveiling his budget in Britain's House of Commons. "Well open the use of e-passport gates at Heathrow and other airports, currently only available to EEEA nationals. "[We'll change the gates] to include visitors from United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Japan." In the lead up to Brexit, both New Zealanders and Australians are being given access to "fast track" e-gates, previously used only be EU passport holders. In the announcement made by UK Chancellor Philip Hammond, it was said that other nationalities would soon be allowed speedier entry to the UK – including passport holders from Canada, the United States and Japan.
The move will reduce the time it takes for New Zealanders to move through airports when visiting the United Kingdom.The e-passport gates are currently at 22 airports and international rail terminals across the country and will be accepting New Zealand passports as early as next year. The news follows a chaotic summer for British airports, where passport control queues tailed for two and a half hours.
