tabling member constituency	Warley
tabling member printed	John Spellar
uin	130580
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2018 answer text <p>There are no recorded prosecutions or convictions for such an offence up to and including 31 December 2016, the latest year for which statistics are available. However, at least two people were fined last year for failing to ensure that their dog was properly microchipped and their details kept up to date. The offence of failing to microchip a dog is a “non-notifiable” offence and so there is no centrally held data on arrests or charges. We would not expect many people to be arrested, charged or prosecuted for such an offence because offenders are given an opportunity to microchip their dogs before facing prosecution.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 12/03/2018 11:57:41 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
