The government intends to back a bill from a Labour MP designed to cut the cost of school uniforms in England.

The legislation, drafted by Weaver Vale MP Mike Amesbury, would aim to strengthen existing guidance encouraging schools to keep down costs.

It could also force schools to keep compulsory branded items, like blazers, to a minimum.
