Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to abolish the two-child cap on claims for universal credit and child tax credit in order to assist families with the increased cost-of-living; and what assessment they have made of the effectiveness of the cap on meeting its original policy aim.

There are no plans at this time to abolish the two-child cap on claims for universal credit and child tax credit.

Statistics on the policy to provide support for a maximum of two children are published every year. The latest stats for April 2022 were published on July 14. These can be found on the GOV.UK website.
