South Devon Liberal Democrat MP Caroline Voaden used her opportunity during Prime Minister's Questions this week to ask what he planned to do about mobile phones in the classroom.

She asked him: “Given the government's desire to improve educational outcomes and the wellbeing of our children, it is ignoring the elephant in the room.”
