Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson on Monday said it would be looked at “as one of a number of ways” to lift children out of poverty.
Scrapping the two-child benefit cap will be “considered” by the Government, a Labour Cabinet minister has said.
The SNP has tabled an amendment to the King’s Speech calling for the cap to be axed and left-wing Labour MPs are expected to weigh in further to the debate on Monday. “Housing is a big factor… The fact that for lots of families work doesn’t pay in the way that it should, and that increasingly what we see is that children are growing up in poverty where there is at least one person in that household in work.
