Written answers

The data requested by the Deputy in respect of the number of new herd applications received in 2015 is set out in the Table. There is no maximum waiting period for an application for a herd number. The length of time required to process an individual application is contingent on a number of factors such as the timely response of the applicant in providing the required documentation and proof that the applicant is entitled to use the lands that are the subject of the herd number application. Under normal circumstances, the average waiting period from the time of receipt of the application to the allocation of a herd number is approximately three weeks.
