A Bill to provide for a fixed penalty charge for those caught smuggling dogs into the United Kingdom; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
15 May 2014
This Bill would create a fixed penalty (an on-the-spot fine) for people caught smuggling a dog into the United Kingdom. It would allow designated officers to issue the penalty instead of pursuing criminal prosecutions, with rules on how penalties are issued, paid and recorded. The aim is to strengthen border controls and animal welfare by making enforcement quicker and clearer.
