Labour — Bermondsey and Old Southwark

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 June 2025

Debate

Child Poverty and No Recourse to Public Funds

Contribution

Is the hon. Member aware that the Work and Pensions Committee looked at this issue in a previous Session and put the figure at, I think, about 125,000 families with dependants? But the question is: why would the SNP policy be for children under five only, when the Work and Pensions Committee has already suggested that anyone with dependants should not be subject to no recourse?
