For example, for those families who will benefit from lifting the two-child limit—I think there are over half a million of them—their awards will be £5,310 a year higher. That is a significant investment in the family finances, and we have to look at that quite carefully. The Government chose to prioritise that, and, as we always said we would, we showed how it was going to be paid for. We did it because it was the right thing to do.
