Organised jointly by Dogs Trust and the Kennel Club, the competition offers the chance for MPs to show off one of the charity’s wonderful hounds.

Ms Platt said: “I’m delighted to be taking part in this year’s competition. As a dog lover it’s a real pleasure to have a four-legged Dogs Trust representative by my side for the event.”

MPs will also be calling for their supporters to vote for their canine companions to win the “paw-blic” vote.
