Paul Waugh

Labour (Co-op) — Rochdale

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 July 2025

Debate

Welfare Spending

Contribution

The Minister is making an important speech with which many Labour Members will agree. She will be aware that 59% of families with more than two children and which are on universal credit are in work. That is far from the feckless parent caricature that we have heard from the Conservatives. More importantly, does she agree that the children should come first, so we should urgently scrap the two-child cap as quickly as possible?
