 Dear Mr Knight

 RE: SERVING OF NON-HALAL MEAT

MOUNT STUART PRIMARY SCHOOL

It has been brought to my attention by the parents of Muslim school children of Mount Stuart Primary School, that yesterday the School served the Muslim children pork sausages, etc (non-halal meat), which is completely forbidden by their religion.

I believe Mount Stuart Primary School was the first school to introduce halal school meals for children. The Muslim communities in the Butetown, Grangetown and Riverside areas are very upset after hearing of this incident.

Would you please investigate this matter as soon as possible and make sure that Muslim school children are not served any more pork (non halal food) in future.

I would appreciate your comments on this matter.

Yours sincerely
