Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many (a) claims and (b) successful claims have been made for the child element of child tax credit for a third, or later child, born on or after 6 April 2017 on the grounds that the child was born as a result of a non-consensual conception; and for how many of those claims the supporting third-party professional was a midwife.

Statistics relating to exceptions to the limit on support to two children in Child Tax Credit will be published in due course.
