MPs have voted against a proposal to ban under-16s from using social media.
The Conservatives had pushed for the move via an amendment to the government's flagship education legislation currently going through parliament: the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill.
It had been backed by the House of Lords, but was defeated in the Commons on Monday night by 307 votes to 173.
