Mum fined for term-time holiday: 'They sent bailiffs'
The Local Government Association - which represents councils across the country - says it's time to scrap a ban that stops parents in England taking children out of school for holidays during term-time. It says the costs of holidays during school breaks can be more than double the standard price.
5 live Breakfast reporter Matt Wright went to a primary school in Salford to ask parents there what they thought of the ban.
One mum said: "I took them away last year, they missed four days of school and I got fined 拢60 for each one of them. I couldn't afford to pay it so the the bailiffs came to my house."
