The government has ruled out forcing all dog owners to insure against their pets attacking people - a week after suggesting the idea.
Environment Secretary Hilary Benn said the proposal would not be turned into policy, as ministers did not "want to penalise" responsible owners.
The insurance suggestion for England and Wales was part of a consultation on dangerous dogs launched last Tuesday.
