Request

On 6 April 2026, new legislation came into force that required all primate owners to apply for a wild animal licence with their local council.

On that date, how many licence applications from primate owners had your council received? For each application, please state whether it was approved, and how many primates if it related to. If you run out of time, which you won't, please just tell me the number of licence applications
