answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2017 answer text <p>The government fully supports the principles of better debt management and lower levels of problem debt. This government has a manifesto commitment to introduce a statutory breathing space that would give heavily indebted consumers a period of respite from enforcement action, and further interest and charges for a period of up to six weeks. Where appropriate, they will be offered a statutory repayment plan to help them pay back their debts in a sustainable way. We will outline further information on how this policy could be implemented in due course.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 07/09/2017 16:10:49 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 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 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><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 11/09/2017 16:10:26 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
