answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>Where a dog is worrying livestock, police and local authorities, with the consent of the local police, can pursue a prosecution under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953. This provides a criminal offence where a keeper has allowed their dog to worry livestock and carries a maximum fine of £1000. Defra and the Animal Health and Welfare Board for England (AHWBE) met police forces, farming and rural interests to discuss this issue earlier this year. Under the auspices of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, five police forces are collaborating to pilot more systematic data collection of incidents and good response practices and we look forward to the results of the pilot.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 19/09/2017 15:50:10 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>The British Insurance Broker Association (BIBA) insurance product, launched in December 2016, provides flood insurance for many small businesses that have struggled to access it to-date. We understand that this new product is already providing insurance and has strong support from brokers. BIBA’s ‘Find a Broker Service’ can help business identify local brokers participating in the BIBA scheme and is accessible through BIBA's website, at: <a href="https://www.biba.org.uk/find-insurance/results/?insurance=908" target="_blank">https://www.biba.org.uk/find-insurance/results/?insurance=908</a></p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to work with commercial interests under the Property Level Resilience Roundtable to promote the uptake of measures that make properties resilient to flooding. These are measures that prevent water entering a property and speeding recovery when it does. One objective is to develop better standards and certification, enabling insurers to take greater account of resilience measures in the future.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 19/09/2017 12:04:07 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
