It provides that poultrymeat can be marked as “free-range” notwithstanding any temporary restriction imposed on the basis of assimilated direct law to protect public or animal health.\nA Child Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment has been prepared and is available online at www.legislation.gov.uk.",
