Sir Keir Starmer has been urged to “U-turn” and support proposals to ensure all schools in England enforce a mobile phone ban.

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch questioned why the Government opposed a Tory amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill to require schools to ban the use of mobile phones during the school day.
