Change the rules so pupils can go to the toilet during lesson times when they need to

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions on policies regarding when students can leave the classroom are a matter for individual schools and teachers, not the UK Government or House of Commons.

If you are unhappy with how a school or teacher deals with requests to use the toilet, you should raise this with the school or relevant local authority.
