Excerpt:
The prospect of thousands of Muslim children in East Lancashire boycotting meat in school meals is back on the agenda after a new row over halal.
The Lancashire County Council Cabinet on Thursday decided to re-open the question of whether it should use meat from animals which had not been stunned before slaughter.
It revives a row from 2012 when the authority banned all animal flesh from its 600 schools where pre-stunning has not been used.
Then the Lancashire Council of Mosques told Muslim families to boycott all such 'halal' meat as it did not meet their interpretation of Islamic law.
