Question the minister for DEFRA over lack of action halal and kosher labelling
There have been 2 parliamentary petitions on labelling for halal and kosher with nothing of substance resulting. In response to the 1st (1) they said after Brexit we'd have more opportunity to label. For the 2nd (2) there was a consultation. Nothing has changed. We demand the minster be questioned.
The Parliamentary Petitions committee has the power to summon a minister for questioning. It is strictly forbidden for many Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists or Christians to consume any halal or kosher certified material. We ask for clear prominent labelling so we can make a clear choice. We demand the committee bring the Minister for DEFRA to be questioned on this.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about whether to take evidence from a particular witness are a matter for individual select committees, not the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.
Your petition refers to select committee powers to summon witnesses, but members of either House of Parliament can’t be summoned by select committees.
