LONDON (UPI) - Labor Member of Parliament Peter Doig has introduced a bill to protect postmen from dogs.
Under the bill, dog owners would be required to have their letter boxes on an outside gate and to put up "Beware of the Dog" signs. Postmen also would be issued a can of dog repellent spray.
The bill was given a first reading in Commons yesterday, but government sources said it had little chance of becoming law.
