工党Bridget Phillifson指出, 终止双子女津贴上限的问题正在审议之中, Labour’s Bridget Phillipson says ending the two-child benefit cap is under consideration, calling it harmful to children.

工党副领导候选人布里奇特·菲利普森表示取消两孩子的福利上限是"在桌上", Labour deputy leadership candidate Bridget Phillipson has said abolishing the two-child benefit cap is "on the table," calling it a "spiteful" policy that harms children. 作为教育秘书和政府儿童贫穷问题工作队共同主席,她希望把解决儿童贫穷问题作为未来劳工政府的核心任务。 As Education Secretary and co-chair of the government’s child poverty taskforce, she wants to make tackling child poverty the central mission of a future Labour government. 虽然凯尔·斯塔尔默总理没有承诺终止这一上限,但他并没有排除这一上限。 While Prime Minister Keir Starmer has not committed to ending the cap, he has not ruled it out. 菲利浦森的评论反映出劳工局内日益支持废除这项政策,这项政策将福利限制为每个家庭两名子女,并受到慈善机构和运动家的批评。 Phillipson’s comments reflect growing support within Labour for scrapping the policy, which limits benefits to two children per family and has drawn criticism from charities and campaigners.
