Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Dangerous Dogs.


Dangerous Dogs

I accept the advantages of microchipping and licensing that the hon. Gentleman has just explained, but the one downside is the many elderly people, perhaps on modest incomes, who rely on companion animals and get great pleasure from owning them. If the process was expensive, it could preclude those people from owning pets.
