Responsible Dog Ownership

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Nokes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 February 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Responsible Dog Ownership.

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on securing the debate. I fear that I might be about to incur the wrath of the Chair, but does the hon. Member for Wansbeck agree that it is imperative that any database, and the registration of changes of ownership, must be absolutely robust so that we do not end up with a situation like the passporting of horses? There are 75 passport issuing organisations, and nobody has

confidence that a given microchip and passport link to the right horse. Does he agree that in the case of dogs, we must ensure that the system is absolutely robust?
