Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 February 2026

Debate

Two-child Benefit Cap: Foreign-born Children

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that answer. To follow on from that—to get to the crux of the matter—could she tell us what assessment has been made of the cap’s overall effect on child poverty? Can she clarify and put on the record what the actual effect was and how we can benefit by the removal of the cap?
