Bill read the First time; to be read a Second time tomorrow, and to be printed (Bill 179) with explanatory notes (Bill 179-EN).
Alison Thewliss (Glasgow Central) (SNP)
On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am a big believer in honesty, and that I should correct my mistakes should I make one. In yesterday’s Budget debate I said that 222,000 families are affected by the two-child limit. I failed to read my own handwriting properly—the House of Commons Library briefing confirms that as of April 2023, 422,000 families are affected by the two-child limit. Could you advise me if it is possible for me to correct the record?
Mr Deputy Speaker (Sir Roger Gale)
The hon. Lady will appreciate that that is not a strictly a matter for the Chair, but it is now a matter of record, and she can therefore take it that the record has been set straight.
