A Government amendment that does not commit to any action, backed by a consultation that does not recognise the scale of the problem, is simply not good enough. If the amendments I have outlined today were included in the Bill, children would be safer, uniforms would be cheaper, and school standards would be protected. There is a chance this evening that we can make this Bill better. Instead of doing all we can to disagree, we can make changes that have cross-party backing. Parents are watching how we vote tonight. If Members support school choice, they should vote for it. If they want smartphones out of the classroom, they should vote for it. If they want children off social media, they should vote for it. We can make change. That is what parents want, and it is what we will be voting for this evening.
