Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Astor of Hever on 28 October (HL2119), what information they provide to members of the armed forces to enable them to make informed choices about the consumption of halal food.
This question was answered on 21st November 2014
Ministry of Defence policy is fully consistent with current UK legislation and Government guidelines. Although there is no requirement for a menu to state whether a dish does or does not contain halal food. Service and entitled civilian personnel with special dietary requirements are fully informed as to which dishes are suitable for them to eat.
