We do not currently have figures for the number of dogs commercially imported from Russia to the United Kingdom in 2020.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 20/01/2021 14:50:48 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
