英国保守党试图恢复双子女津贴上限, 以节省32亿英镑, 引发关于福利与国防开支的争论。
The UK's Conservatives seek to reinstate the two-child benefit cap to save £3.2 billion, sparking debate over welfare and defence spending.
保守党计划恢复两国儿童福利上限,每年节省32亿英镑以上,将一半用于减少赤字,其余用于国防,包括资助20 000名新部队和一个主权防卫基金。
The Conservative Party plans to reinstate the two-child benefit cap to save over £3.2 billion annually, redirecting half to reduce the deficit and the rest to defence, including funding 20,000 new troops and a sovereign defence fund.
这一举动受到劳工局和儿童福利倡导者的批评,是劳工局通过议会废除上限的法案提出的。
The move, criticized by Labour and advocates for child welfare, comes as Labour’s bill to abolish the cap advances through Parliament.
保守派认为,劳工福利扩张破坏了国家安全,而劳工则旨在将国防开支提高到国内生产总值的3%,并将儿童贫困率减少40万。
Conservatives argue Labour’s welfare expansion undermines national security, while Labour aims to boost defence spending to 3% of GDP and reduce child poverty by 400,000.
