Thanks for this John.

I've finally got it to work by using this -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+latex_header: \usepackage{lscape}


#+latex: \begin{landscape}
#+CAPTION: Table of Parochial Fees from 1 January 2017 - Funerals, Burials and Monuments (cite:0204).
#+ATTR_LATEX: :booktabs t
blah
#+latex: \end{landscape}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Not quite an org-mode success, but at least its working.

Thanks
Sharon.
