Question
Will the Minister provide an update on any consultation that the Welsh Government is involved in regarding changing legislation to allow farming businesses to not lose free-range status should birds be housed due to government intervention?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
Welsh Government is not consulting on any change to policy for free-range status for eggs and poultry. Current policy strikes a reasonable balance between providing industry with flexibility and consumers knowing what they are buying.
