65 organisations have come together to commend the government for making the choice to scrap the two-child limit and ask all MPs to stand with children and support this Bill.
As the Bill to scrap the two-child limit gets its second reading in Parliament today, 63 organisations - including those representing children’s doctors, teachers, health visitors and anti-poverty charities - have published a statement urging MPs to vote for ending the policy.
CPAG strongly supports the Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill and we ask all MPs to vote in favour of the Bill at its Second Reading on 3 February 2026.
On 5 December, the government published the long-awaited, UK-wide cross-government child poverty strategy. The strategy contains a number of new policies to tackle child poverty, as well as previously-announced policies introduced since the government’s election last year. Taken collectively, the key policies in the strategy will deliver transformative change for some of the country’s poorest children and their families.
