flag UK lawmakers blocked a plan to limit school uniforms to three branded items, choosing a price cap to ease family costs instead.

flag The UK House of Lords rejected the government’s plan to limit school uniforms to three branded items, opting instead for a price cap to reduce family costs. flag The Liberal Democrats’ measure passed 255 to 183, arguing that high-priced branded items like blazers or PE kits drive up expenses more than the number of items. flag While the government argued the numeric cap encourages choice and long-term savings, peers and some Conservatives said families care more about total spending. flag The amendment now heads to the House of Commons in the legislative negotiation process.
