Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Agnew of Oulton on 29 July (HL9377), what plans they have to ensure that parents of children at state schools who do not wish their children to eat meat from animals that have not been pre-stunned prior to slaughter have the same ability to identify such meat as those who wish their children to eat meat slaughtered using Halal and Shechita methods.

I refer the noble Lady to the answer I gave on 20 July 2018 to HL9377.

However, we have noted the noble Lady’s points on this issue and will monitor the situation.
