Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Robert Halfon (Conservative), on Wednesday, 15 May 2013, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 17 members in total.


TOUGHER SENTENCES FOR THE OWNERS OF DANGEROUS DOGS

That this House notes that the Ministry of Justice fully understands the need for tough sentences regarding those who own dangerous dogs; further notes however that the owner of a dog which inflicted a 5cm flesh wound and a severed artery on a constituent of the hon. Member for Harlow has escaped unpunished whilst the dog's walker was handed a £250 compensation order; and asks the Secretary of State for Justice if he will consider reviewing the legislation on dog attacks in public areas to help put an end to such sentencing.
