Mrs. Browning

[holding answer on 17 December 1996]: No consignments of sheep were imported from the continent during November. In December two consignments were imported through Dover and 2 and 5 December. They originated from points of departure in south eastern France, and travelled via a lairage in Belgium. These consignments contained 299 and 285 animals respectively. We have no information on the total time for these journeys.
