ALL SCHOOLS that have school dinners catered by Bradford Council provide a non-Halal alternative if they serve Halal meat, councillors have been told.
Councillor Debbie Davies, Conservative spokesman for education on the council, raised the issue at a recent full council meeting, asking Children's Services portfolio holder Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe if schools serving Halal food offered alternatives for non Muslim pupils.
Cllr Hinchcliffe responded: "In schools where the council's in house provider for school meals are the caterer, a non-Halal meat alternative is always provided.
"Where schools contract with an alternative provider or provide the catering direct themselves, the councils does not hold this information."
