The bi-mode Intercity Express trains on the Great Western route will utilise modern technology and will produce less emissions than today. Once the Great Western transformation is complete the new trains will spend most of the journey between London and Swansea in electric mode, with near-zero emissions. In diesel mode the new trains meet the highest rolling stock emissions standards and will convert nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases into water.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 23/01/2018 12:39:03 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>As of 6 April 2016, all dogs in Great Britain had to be identified by a microchip and registered on a database. We estimate that over 94% of dogs in Great Britain are microchipped. More broadly in relation to controlling dangerous dogs, it is a criminal offence to allow a dog to be dangerously out of control, with a maximum penalty of 14 years’ imprisonment in the case of an attack resulting in the death of a person; 5 years’ imprisonment in the case of an injury to a person; and 3 years’ imprisonment in the case of an attack on an assistance dog. In addition, police and local authorities can issue Community Protection Notices to owners of dogs involved in low level dog nuisance incidents allowing intervention before a dog becomes dangerously out of control. Failure to comply with such notices can result in a fine of up to £2,500.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 05/09/2017 10:58:18 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
