DOG ATTACKS

That this House welcomes Dog Awareness Week, 15 to 19 July 2013, organised by Royal Mail and the Communications Workers Union with the support of animal charities; notes the reduction of recorded dog attacks on postwomen and men; regrets that the number of such attacks still exceeded 5,500 in the last year; further welcomes the proposed amendment to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 in the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill to give legal protection to delivery staff when in a customer's garden; and calls on the Government to include protection and remedy for an individual in the communal area of a block of flats and for someone who is bitten when delivering an item through a letter box.
