The SNP’s Angus Robertson also offers condolences to the family and friends of Martin McGuinness.
He says May said she would secure a UK-wide agreement before triggering article 50 on Brexit. Since then May has blocked, been intransigent and lectured. There is no agreement. Will these be May’s tactics with the EU?
May says she has made every effort to take into account the views of the devolved administrations. She wants the best possible deal for the people of Scotland. At heart we are one people.
Robertson says May has admitted that she has reached no agreement. She wants the people to know the outcome of the Brexit deal before Scotland votes on independence. If the Commons, the Lords, the European parliament and EU parliaments can get a choice on Scotland’s future after the deal is concluded, why shouldn’t the Scottish people get a choice too?
May says the people of Scotland voted to stay in the UK. The people of the UK voted to leave the EU. She is respecting both of those votes. Robertson is respecting neither.
Corbyn says the former education secretary criticised grammar schools. Was he wrong?
May says in grammar schools the attainment gap does not apply.
Corbyn says the chair of the education committee has criticised grammar schools too. This is a vanity project. It will only benefit a few children. Is May happy to see this generation see its life chances decline.
May says the government has protected school funding. There are more teachers with first class degrees. It is not a vanity project to want better schools. There is a difference between her and Corbyn. Corbyn recorded a video this week urging people to think of his movement first. That is the difference. Labour put the party first; she puts the country first.
Corbyn says May was elected on a manifesto of no school cuts. But that is what is happening. He itemises things that are being cut. And he reads a letter from Eileen, a teacher, saying teachers are having to pay for pens and other items themselves. This is disgraceful. Does May agree?
May says budgets and the pupil premium have been protected. She says what matters is the quality of education. That is what this government is about. She wants people to get on on the basis of merit, not privilege. That is what she is delivering. Labour has opposed every policy that has improved education.
Corbyn says May should speak to the Tory MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown who said all his schools would have a cut under this budget. But May found £320m for divisive grammar schools. What kind of priority is that?
May says the new funding formula addresses a problem Labour ignored. MPs have been saying this for years. She said it 15 years ago when she was shadow education secretary. The government has proposed a new approach. She says the government has put money into offering diversity. She says Diane Abbott and Shami Chakrabarti sent their children to private schools. Corbyn sent his son to a grammar. He went to a grammar too. But now he wants to pull up the ladder.
Jeremy Corbyn starts by echoing what May said about Martin McGuinness. He played an immeasurable role in bringing about peace in Northern Ireland, he says.
He says the schools budget will be cut by 6.5% by 2020. And the new school funding formula will lead to some schools facing further cuts. Why is cutting tax for business more important?
May says the government has plans to improve schools. The schools budget has been protected. The national funding formula is a consultation.
Corbyn says the Tory manifesto said the amount of money following your child into school will be protected. No wonder even the Evening Standard editor is concerned. Is May advocating larger class sizes, a shorter school day or fewer teachers?
May says there are more good teachers, and more outstanding schools. She believes in diversity in education; Corbyn believes in a one-size-fits-all model.
Lucy Allan, a Conservative, asks if May will tell us how Telford will prosper from Brexit.
May says the referendum was a vote not just to leave the EU, but to change the way the country works. That is why her plan for Britain sets out ideas to make a stronger Britain. It will deliver a more united country.
Labour’s John Mann says hospital units in Bassetlaw have been closed or cut back. He is offering to work with the PM to solve this. Will she work with him?
May says the Bassetlaw clinical commissioning group is getting more funding. Mann talks about listening to local people. That is what sustainability and transformation plans are about.
Theresa May says she would like to express her condolences to the family and colleagues of Martin McGuinness. She will not condone what he did in his early life but he played an indispensable role in taking the republican movement away from violence.
