Revised DEFRA permit

[Pompey Mick]

The DEFRA permit has been amended somewhere as it has todays date on it, the Isolation period is the same and the CI are still non British Isles so I don't know what has changed, does anyone know if anything has altered.

The French have become lenient I've heard.

You'll see the Scottish General License was 're-issued' too, on 21st May (pre-Banbury) without alteration.

I think the General License might have a fixed shelf-life set by Legislation (looks like 6 months to me) and requires to be re-issued unless an intervening event happens first?
