§ Mr. David YoungTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the compilations of statistics on dog attacks on humans to make them nationwide and more detailed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. RumboldWe shall continue to monitor nationally criminal offences under the appropriate legislation including the new offences created by the Dangerous Dogs Bill. No central records are kept of those attacks by dogs which do not lead to criminal proceedings, except in the context of an annual sample survey of home and leisure accidents involving dogs.
