HC Deb 17 December 1986 vol 107 cc552-6W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) when he intends to publish the model byelaws on dog fouling in public open spaces recommended by the recent working party on this subject; and if he will make a statement;

(2) whether he will make a statement on the recent experiment involving four district councils which tested the suitability of draft model byelaws on dog fouling in public open spaces.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We are considering whether the results of the pilot scheme provide a sufficient basis on which to make the byelaws available for adoption by other local authorities, but expect to announce the conclusions we have reached shortly.

Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what representation he has recently received concerning the publication of model byelaws on dog fouling of public open spaces;

(2) which local councils have contacted his Department requesting model byelaws on dog fouling of public open spaces.

Mr. Douglas Hogg
