Today the government is introducing legislation to abolish the two-child limit. More than any other, this policy has driven children into poverty and cut them off from opportunity. Removing it is the right thing to do ā supporting future generations and giving all children a fair start in life.

All kids deserve the best start in life. No matter how many brothers and sisters they have, or what jobs their parents have, or if someone in their household has a disability. They all deserve a good childhood ā not just because it will set them up for a stronger future, but because theyāre kids.

One parent affected by the two-child limit told us: 'My children will no longer be the children having to go without amongst their friends who come from smaller families. To make children suffer is morally wrong and should never have happened.'
