What this bill is about
The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 (Amendment) Bill would change how the Secretary of State proceeds when considering whether to designate a particular type of dog as “dangerous” under the 1991 Act. Before making such an order, it would require a public consultation and the publication of a comparative review of relevant data. The bill’s long title focuses specifically on fatalities resulting from bites by dogs of that type over the previous three years.
What it would do
- Require a public consultation before the Secretary of State makes an order designating a dog type under the 1991 Act.
- Require publication of a comparative data review before such an order is made.
- Focus the published data review on fatalities from bites by dogs of the designated type in the last three years.
