Responsible Dog Ownership

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

I know that my hon. Friend on the Front Bench is trying to persuade the Government, rather than chastise them, but surely there is a major problem in this respect: if Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have introduced or are introducing dog control notices and the Dogs Trust offers, at £20 a year, proper liability insurance for dog owners, should the Government not bring in those notices in England, and also make it compulsory for dog owners to insure their dogs under a scheme such as the one I mentioned so that victims can be compensated?
