Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Ian Cawsey (Labour), on Wednesday, 18 March 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 37 members in total.


COASTAL ACCESS FOR DOG WALKERS

That this House recognises the potential for the proposed Marine Bill to increase access to the coastline for the UK's 7.3 million dogs and their owners; appreciates the considerable health benefits that walking a dog can bring; recognises that dog owners have a legal responsibility under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 to provide their dogs with adequate exercise; notes the environmental benefits of dog owners being able to access land within their local areas without needing to drive; and therefore believes that the Marine and Coastal Access Bill should ensure that dog owners continue to enjoy full access to the coastline.
