Enforcement key to dealing with dangerous dogs

Speaking during a debate about dangerous dogs Meg said that she was in support of measures like compulsory microchipping of all dogs and proper enforcement of dog control orders.

So-called status dogs and their intimidating owners adds an atmosphere of fear in a local area like Hackney. I also understand that working dogs like guide dogs for the blind are also at risk of attack from other dogs. I support the campaigns by charities including the RSPCA and GuideDogs.

Enforcement is the key to this. Just passing legislation is not enough.
