The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much it is costing the police to house dogs that have been confiscated under the Dangerous Dogs Act.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Home Office does not hold data on the total cost to policing for housing dogs confiscated under the Dangerous Dogs Act.

I would refer the hon member to the response previously provided by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, UIN: 74382.
