Social Security Benefits: Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an estimate of the average amount of money families would receive if the two-child limit was rescinded.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
Tackling child poverty is at the heart of the Government’s mission to break down barriers to opportunity and improve the life chances of every child. The Child Poverty Taskforce is exploring how we can harness all available levers to reduce child poverty, including considering social security reforms, before publishing a strategy that will deliver lasting change.
