British MPs told off for "fiddling" with phones in parliament

Two British politicians got a stern telling off in parliament for "fiddling ostentatiously" with their mobile phones during a debate.

House of Commons speaker John Bercow scolded Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Deputy Commons leader Therese Coffey over their "discourteous" behaviour during a discussion on National Health Service bursaries on Wednesday.

Hunt is currently in a long-running dispute with junior doctors over their new contracts.
