Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 December 2025. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions.
Budget Resolutions
In Northern Ireland we have 440,000 children, and 103,000 of them are in poverty. By abolishing the two-child cap, this Government have ensured that those 103,000 children will be lifted out of poverty. The potential is there to do that. Does my right hon. Friend agree that abolishing the two-child cap takes those children out of poverty and makes their lives better?
