PUPILS at a primary school could be offered menus with halal as the only meat option, a local councillor said.

Dale Primary School in Derby is consulting parents about whether they would want to see the traditional Muslim meat offered on school menus, it was reported today.

One option being considered is to have one day a week where the meat option is solely halal, the city council's portfolio holder for children and young people said.
