Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to get rid of the two-child limit for eligibility for certain benefits.

While we cannot commit to changing the two child policy, tackling child poverty is at the heart of the Government’s mission to break down barriers to opportunity and improve the life chances of every child.

The Child Poverty Taskforce will explore how we can harness all available levers to reduce child poverty, including by listening to stakeholders on potential changes, before publishing a strategy in Spring 2025.
