A Conservative amendment designed to block the Bill, and including a call for a national inquiry on grooming gangs, was rejected
The main conceptual idea of the text is the approval of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill by MPs despite a failed attempt to block it by a Conservative amendment.
This amendment, which sought to force a national inquiry into grooming gangs, was rejected by a large majority.
The Bill itself aims to standardize pay and conditions for teachers in both academy and council-run schools, ensure all schools teach the national curriculum, and restrict forced academisation of struggling schools.
