See notes
1.The total number of currently licensed businesses authorised to sell animals as pets.
2.Of those currently licensed businesses, how many are licensed to sell:
•Mammals
•Birds

•Amphibians
•Fish
•Invertebrates
For the avoidance of doubt:
•I am requesting the number of premises licensed to sell animals as pets, not the number of specimens.

•If the information is not held in exactly that format, please provide the closest recorded breakdown available.
