answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2022 answer text <p>The theft of a much-loved pet causes emotional trauma and impacts pet owners and families. The Government launched a Pet Theft Taskforce in May 2021 in response to concerns about a perceived increase in pet theft during COVID restrictions.</p><p>The Pet Theft Taskforce concluded that a new offence of pet abduction would best address concerns that the criminal law is only currently capable of treating the theft of a pet as a theft of property; and also, to recognise the potential impact on their welfare when they are taken by strangers.</p><p>The offence as currently drafted in the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill focuses on dogs, with enabling powers. The inclusion of the enabling powers means that the Secretary of State will be able to extend the offence to other species of companion animal in the future by making regulations.</p><p>The Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill completed its Commons Committee Stage in November. A carryover motion was passed by the House on 25 April 2022. The Bill will continue its passage as soon as parliamentary time allows.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 05/07/2022 14:35:40 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2022 answer text <p>This Government is determined to crack down on the county lines gangs who exploit our children and have a devastating impact on our communities. That is why, through the ten-year Drugs Strategy, we are investing up to £145m over three years in our successful County Lines Programme. Since November 2019 police activity funded by the County Lines Programme has closed over 2,400 lines, made over 8,000 arrests, and engaged over 9,500 individuals through safeguarding interventions.</p><p>Also, through the County Lines Programme, the Home Office funds the National County Lines Co-ordination Centre (NCLCC) who have identified and are sharing best practice on ‘cuckooing’. Examples include working with local authorities and housing associations to raise awareness, to disrupt this malicious crime and signpost vulnerable victims to support.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 05/07/2022 15:49:38 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
