Question
What assessment has the Minister made of the success of the XL bully ban in preventing attacks and fatalities in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
The Dangerous Dogs Act is non-devolved. The recent amendments to the Act banning XL Bullies were made by the UK Government. Welsh Government has not made any assessment of the impact of the changes.
I am not aware of a review of the policy by Defra as yet; however, officials are in weekly contact with our Defra counterparts.
