Shouldn&#8217;t it be debated in this House before it is implemented?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Ms Mordaunt said: &#8216;He will know the motivation for bringing in this legislation but of course we need to provide clarity and reassurance to pet owners.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Ms Mordaunt said she will write, on Sir Chris&#8217;s behalf, to Environment Secretary Steve Barclay to alert him to the motion before the House.<\/p>\n<p>The dog is a variant of the American bully, which can come in a variety of sizes, with XL bullies bred to be particularly big.<\/p>\n<p>The ban applies only to XL Bully types. Dogs which share some characteristics of the breed are not included within the scope of the ban.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to official guidance, if a dog meets the minimum height measurements and a substantial number of the characteristics &#8211; e.g. heavy, muscular build &#8211; it could be considered an XL Bully type.<\/p>\n<p>The ban will not apply in Scotland after ministers turned down a request from the UK government to comply.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, there have been fears of the country becoming a &#8216;dumping ground&#8217;
