Authorised users with access to microchip databases, can remove original registration or rescue back up details without telling the original rescue, breeder, owner, keeper or rehoming centre, which can leave them unable to trace their dog or offer lifetime protection.\r\n","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":11,"closing_date":"2027-01-29","created_at":"2026-06-16T21:26:21.845Z","updated_at":"2026-07-30T08:45:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-07-29T09:09:02.545Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-17T19:43:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Sue williams & dawn Ashley","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DEFRA","name":"Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":11}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Blackley and Middleton South","ons_code":"E14001103","mp":"Graham Stringer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Braintree","ons_code":"E14001121","mp":"Rt Hon Sir James Cleverly MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Burton and Uttoxeter","ons_code":"E14001143","mp":"Jacob Collier MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Castle Point","ons_code":"E14001154","mp":"Rebecca Harris MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Fylde","ons_code":"E14001242","mp":"Mr Andrew Snowden MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Harlow","ons_code":"E14001267","mp":"Chris Vince MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"North West Essex","ons_code":"E14001402","mp":"Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":2},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":7},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
