HL Deb 10 May 1993 vol 545 c55WA
Lord Houghton of Sowerby

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What safeguards exist against a dog already acquitted of being a pit bull terrrier from subsequent seizure and detention by the police on suspicion.

Earl Ferrers

The seizure and detention of a dog, which is believed to be of the type known as the pit bull terrier, is an operational matter for the enforcement authorities.
