The Bill would require the Secretary of State to publish guidance for state-funded schools about letting pupils use the toilet during lessons. It aims to promote consistent, fair access across schools and to address safeguarding and disruption concerns. It does not change current laws itself, but asks for government guidance to help schools handle toilet access during class time.
The Bill is at the 2nd reading in the Commons. If it progresses, it would typically move to committee stage for detailed examination, then on to further stages in both Houses, subject to parliamentary support.
