Social Security Benefits: Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment she has made of the potential health impact of the two-child benefit cap on children's (a) mental and (b) physical health.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
No formal assessment has been made. We recognise the wide-ranging causes of child poverty, and we will explore how we can use all the available levers we have across government and wider society to drive forward the change our children need.
