Implement price caps on school uniforms

Introduce powers to implement price caps on school uniforms into School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill. 

Why is this important?

Many parents and families in Northern Ireland are coming under unbearable financial pressure due to the arbitrary and expensive school uniform requirements.

However, the current draft of the School Uniforms (Guidelines and Allowances) Bill will make little difference to the pockets of parents - and expensive branded suppliers like Kukri and O'Neill's will continue to reap in the profits. 

When the legislation is introduced to the Assembly for the consideration stage of the bill, we call on you to use your power as an MLA to ensure that the legislation includes power to implement price caps on school uniforms.
