Dangerous Dogs

Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Shaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Dangerous Dogs.
My hon. Friend talks about a dangerous dog on private property. We keep such matters under review, but I referred to a case earlier on. Often, the family dog is involved in such attacks, and in such tragic family circumstances, we do not then want to prosecute those people. The situation is bad enough as it is—the child has been disfigured by the family dog. Getting the legislation right is a complex task, but we do not want to make things worse.
