Petition · past parliament

Make all schools in the London borough of Enfield serve halal food during lunch

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Halal food is not on offer during lunchtimes at secondary schools within the borough of Enfield. This limits the choice of food that Muslims can eat and gives them very little options that are healthy, high in protein and nutritious.
A high percentage of students at Enfield County School are Muslim and they are not given the same offers of food as other students.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a decision for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could raise this with your school's senior management or governing body.
