Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill

Debate between Meg Hillier and Janet Daby

2nd reading & Money resolution
Tuesday 3rd February 2026 Commons Chamber

[Dame Meg Hillier]

My hon. Friend rightly highlights that this is partly about the wider structure, and it is also about the number of parents who are in work. Does she not agree that part of our strategy on child poverty is also about supporting parents into better-paid work, so they can continue to support their families and their children?

[Janet Daby]

My hon. Friend is absolutely correct; it is about supporting parents into better-paid work.
