They were voting on a bill to improve children’s education and wellbeing through measures that will help limit school uniform costs, introduce free breakfast clubs, make important reforms to academy schools, introduce a power to cap the profits made by children’s social care providers and create a compulsory Children Not in School register among other measures.
There was no amendment for an inquiry, the Tories wanted the whole bill throwing out, thus preventing positive measures being implemented. They care about children so much. You're being played.
