As you will know from LTB 206/10, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) released a public consultation on 9 March 2010 to establish if the current dangerous dog legislation adequately protects the public, to consider proposals for changes to dog control legislation and how to encourage responsible dog ownership. Since then there has been a change of government and the Health, Safety and Environment Department is continuing efforts via a number of channels to ensure the present government carries forward plans to significanmtly amend the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and other associatyed legislation.
