Ministers were accused of making a major U-turn yesterday after backtracking over plans to make dog owner-insurance compulsory. Environment secretary Hilary Benn said he did not want to penalise responsible owners. Instead only dogs causing trouble could be targeted with an insurance requirement as part of a control order or 'Dogbo'.
But the Conservatives accused ministers of making a 'political dog's dinner' of law proposals.
'A dog tax on more than 5 million owners was proposed last week and is now ruled out by Hilary Benn in a humiliating U-turn, proving how tired and incompetent this government has become,' said shadow environment secretary Nick Herbert.

It was a no-brainer plan right from the start, like everything else that labour have planned, to destroy Britain and its people.
