Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 February 2026

Debate

Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill

Contribution

To working parents across the country, particularly the self-employed, scrapping the cap sends entirely the wrong message. They are making difficult choices about family size because the state is not going to swoop in and cover the cost. Can we really look working parents in the eye and say that we voted for a system that requires them to make tough decisions while absolving families on benefits from the same dilemmas?
