The Great British banger is off the menu for Islington children as pork has been banned in all the borough’s primary schools.
Islington Council has been criticised by the pork industry for refusing to dish up chops, sausages and bacon to youngsters, although the meat is served in secondary schools.

And the U-Turn (Sort of)
Islington Council denies school pork ban
An earlier statement from the council said pork was not served due to the cost monitoring what every child ate - some of whom may not realise they should avoid the meat due to their religious or cultural background.
But now Islington Council has said pork is not banned, and if schools want to serve it they just have to call up the town hall and they will make it happen.
