Milestones

I want the government to keep the two-child benefit cap to support fair and sustainable welfare spending. Retaining the cap will help manage public finances responsibly and ensure that benefits remain targeted and effective for those most in need.

I believe keeping the two-child benefit cap is important for maintaining a fair and financially sustainable welfare system. Without the cap, long-term pressure on public spending increases, which may affect the support available to the most vulnerable. Retaining the cap helps ensure that resources are used responsibly and that the welfare system remains balanced and effective for everyone.
