uin	23831
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>Although there is no obligation to report all animal deaths on roads, Rule 286 of The Highway Code advises drivers to report any accident involving an animal to the police. If possible, they should make enquiries to ascertain the owner of domestic animals, such as cats, and advise them of the situation. I recognise the very deep upset that losing a beloved pet can cause – but, given challenges around enforcement – there are no current plans to strengthen that requirement.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 01/05/2024 14:06:30 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
