A Labour backbencher scarred for life by a Rottweiler attack last year has said the government's proposals on strengthening dangerous dog legislation do not go far enough.
<b>Opinion Former Comment</b> Mayhew Animal Home: The GLA currently has a petition online, which they intend to submit to the government after its closure this Friday. The petition addresses the GLA's criticism of government failure to implement effective dog legislation.
The government is proposing to give police and councils the power to impose 'dog control notices' as part of a crackdown on dangerous dogs, but a prominent backbencher has criticised the proposals for not going far enough.
The government has rejected calls by the Liberal Democrats to review the Dangerous Dogs Act, following a rise in the number of dog-related injuries.
Over 100 people are hospitalised every week because of dog attacks, new figures have revealed.
Background levels of air pollutants are still very high, according to a Government advisory group.
No one can be in any doubt that introducing third-party dog insurance would go some way to ensure dog attack victims are adequately compensated for their physical and mental scars - but it is fraught with difficulty.
MPs are to debate a government move opposed by senior lawyers to reverse the high court's ruling on police bail.
A parliamentary motion calling for the mandatory microchipping of dogs with information about their identity is receiving increased support in parliament.
Legislation imposing an external watchdog on MPs' expenses completed its rushed journey through parliament yesterday.
