Sir Stephen Timms

Labour — East Ham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 February 2026

Debate

Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill

Contribution

I am sure that we will turn to the points that my hon. Friend makes in a few moments, but I reassure her that we will undertake a thorough evaluation of the impacts of the strategy. We will publish regular updates, and I think she will find there the information that she is interested in. We cannot leave millions of children to succumb to the damaging impacts of poverty. The Government want instead to invest in children and in Britain’s future.
