answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2022 answer text <p>Defra’s &quot;Action Plan for Animal Welfare&quot; demonstrates our commitment to a brighter future for animals both at home and abroad. We are aware that some people are supportive of an annual registration scheme or dog licence. The old dog licence scheme was repealed by the Local Government Act 1988 and was in effect an ownership registration scheme. Now that dog microchipping and registration on an associated database is mandatory, this is no longer necessary and we have no plans at this time to reintroduce such a scheme.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 24/05/2022 16:47:20 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2018 answer text <p>Since April 2016 every dog in Great Britain is required to be microchipped with the keeper’s details. Over 90% of dog owners are compliant with the microchipping requirement which allows dogs to be traced back to their keeper and if the dog strays allows dog and keeper to be reunited quickly. There are no plans to reintroduce the dog licence in England.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 02/05/2018 15:09:29 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
