Andrew RosindellSuella Braverman
That this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill because it removes the two child benefit cap without imposing any other restrictions, such as limiting it to working families with British born parents; fails to incentivise work because it increases support for the children of low paid and non working families beyond that given to the children of working parents earning above the benefit level; will cost the taxpayer billions of pounds each year; encourages migration from countries with high birthrates; and because a significant amount of the benefit is expected to go to households where at least one parent was born outside the United Kingdom.
