Docking of Working Dogs’ Tails (England) Regulations 2007

The noble Countess, Lady Mar, read out quite a number of examples of where she thought there was faulty drafting. I am not sure that I can follow her worry about people getting a friendly policeman to certify a dog, because the regulations state, "““where the dog is presented for certification on behalf of a police authority, police identification””." All these clauses refer directly to the official body that has to present the animal. There may be other points that she was not happy with.
