Dog Control Bill [HL]

My Lords, before we leave Committee, I have a simple thing to say. The noble Lord will have realised from his experiences at Second Reading and the consultations that he has had—and, indeed, from this Committee—that this is an extraordinarily complex and rather technical matter. I have restrained myself in terms of the drafting of the Bill with, I am bound to say, commendable zeal in the past half hour or so. I wonder whether the Government should not perhaps take this issue over, look at it, and produce its own legislation. The matter needs to be dealt with. I am not sure that the Bill is an appropriate way of doing so.
