PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Theft: Dogs (8 December 2014)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of trends in the theft of domestic dogs.

Asked by:
Sir Nicholas Dakin (Labour)

Answer


The Home Office does not hold information that separately identifies thefts of domestic dogs from all other theft offences. The Home Office holds statistics on notifiable offences recorded by the police and while theft of domestic dogs
is a notifiable offence, these cannot be separately identified from other offences.
