This is not something that the UK Government or Parliament is directly responsible for. It is up to each individual school to set the homework for its students.

Background
Too much homework increases stress, affects mental health, and limits time for family, rest and extracurricular activities. Reducing homework would improve wellbeing and allow students to enjoy learning more.
