What the vote was about

This was the Third Reading vote on the Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill. The bill would end the policy that limits child-related Universal Credit payments to two children. At stake was a significant change to welfare support for families, with implications for child poverty and public expenditure across the country, including Cornwall.

Why this division is tracked here

Universal Credit reform removing the two-child limit directly affects family finances and is a major public spending question.
