Good point!
When they initially brought in this new law where schools could fine parents for taking their kids out of school during term time, the government reassured everyone that they would put stop on travel agents doubling holiday prices during school holidays. This never happened and the consequences of that broken promise is, many families can't afford to take their children abroad unless they do so during term time.
Good for him. I'm so glad he won this case.
