Child poverty strategy (removal of two child limit): Ten Minute Rule Motion
What the vote was about
A Ten Minute Rule Motion to introduce a bill that would remove the two-child limit on benefits. The two-child limit restricts child tax credit and universal credit to the first two children in a household, a policy that has been linked to increased child poverty. The bill would aim to reduce child poverty by ending this restriction, affecting families in Cornwall and across the UK.
