Julie Cooper, Labour MP, asks the PM to listen to headteachers in her Burnley constituency who say the "unprecedented changes" in primary education have had a "negative impact" on children's learning outcomes - and urges the government to take this on board and make changes.

Theresa May says getting education right is "absolutely crucial" for people's life prospects and opportunities. She says the new education secretary, Justine Greening, will be looking at policy "across the board."

Reality Check

Jeremy Corbyn says: “Yesterday, the Institute of Fiscal Studies found that two thirds of children living in poverty in Britain have at least one parent in work.”

It comes from the Living Standards,Poverty and Inequality in the UK report., external

The report found that between 2009–10 and 2013–14, the proportion of children in workless families fell from 18% to 16%, which reduced absolute child poverty by more than one percentage point.

But it also found that over the same period, increased rates of poverty within working families increased absolute child poverty by more than two percentage points.

In comments about the recent Nice attack, PM Theresa May says the UK is doing it all it can to help the French authorities, and she takes the opportunity to stress that even though the UK is leaving the EU "it is not leaving Europe", as she pledges ongoing cooperation with European neighbours.

In response to a question from SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson on Brexit, Mrs May said she was "very pleased that her first trip as prime minister was to Scotland. "The union is very important to me," and pledges full involvement with the devolved nations as the UK negotiates its withdrawal from the EU.

Mr Robertson asks her, ahead of her visit for talks with French and German leaders today and tomorrow, to thank Germany for its interest "in having Scotland remain in the EU" - and asks her to stress that Scotland will do "everything" necessary to remain in the EU.

Mrs May says she finds it confusing that two years ago the SNP was campaigning for Scotland to leave the UK, "which would've meant them leaving the EU".

In the final exchanges between the two leaders, Mrs May takes another swipe at Labour: "The Labour Party may be about to spend several months fighting and tearing itself apart, but the Tories will be spending those months bringing this country back together."

In response to a question from Jeremy Corbyn on unscrupulous employers, Mrs May opts to have a bit of fun with the question, suggesting Labour MPs might know a boss who doesn't listen to his workers and "exploits the rules to further his own career".

"Remind him of anybody?" she asks Mr Corbyn.

The Labour leader faces some heckling from Tory backbenchers as he goes on to talk about "job insecurity" - in light of the challenge he is facing to his leadership.

Exchanges between the two leaders now focus on the economy. Theresa May says the government hasn't abandoned its intention to eliminate the deficit - just not by 2020 as George Osborne had planned.

Mr Corbyn says austerity means people "being poorer" and "jobs being cut". Attacking the Labour leader's economic stance, she says "He calls it austerity. I call it living within our means."

Jeremy Corbyn reads out comments Theresa May has made about "black lives matter" and challenges her over her appointment of Boris Johnson as foreign secretary - quoting comments he has made in the past, including about Barack Obama's "part-Kenyan ancestry".

Theresa May, in her reply, says she reformed police stop-and-search powers. "I did that as Conservative. Thirteen years of Labour they did nothing on it."
