Schools (Gender and Parental Rights): Ten-Minute Rule Bill

What this vote was about

This was a Ten-Minute Rule Bill, a procedure that lets a backbench MP ask the Commons for permission to introduce a Bill and make a short speech for it. The Bill, brought by Andrew Bridgen, would have banned schools from promoting "social transition" for pupils questioning their gender, required schools to tell parents if a child indicated an intention to socially transition, given parents a right to see lesson materials, and set rules on how gender identity is taught. Ben Bradshaw (Labour) spoke against it. Such bills rarely become law even if permitted, but this one did not clear the first step: MPs refused leave to introduce it by 40 votes to 34, so the Bill went no further.
