Lords ChamberThe noble Baroness makes a very good point, and that is where our joint working with the Department for Health and Social Care, for example, is particularly important.
My Lords, what plans do the Government have two remove, or at least phase out, the two-child cap on welfare benefit? Would that not be a great help to larger families?
I fear that I shall have to defer to my colleagues in the Department for Work and Pensions but, as I mentioned earlier, the Government are committed to supporting the most vulnerable families in this country and have committed £37 billion to that end.
