	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government considers that the general prohibition on certain types of dog bred for fighting, or that share the characteristics of dogs bred for fighting, should remain in place. Evidence shows that pitbull type dogs are responsible for a disproportionate number of attacks on people and fatalities, and should not be kept without individual dogs being subject to a public safety test including that the owner is a fit and proper person. We have not seen any evidence that shows removing the general prohibition would reduce the number of dog attacks.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 14/05/2019 13:50:03 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
