The Bishop of Manchester has vociferously urged the Government to remove the two-child limit on Universal Credit to tackle child poverty.
The Rt Rev David Walker argued the rule was 'the greatest contributor to driving more children into poverty'.
His Private Member's Bill entitled Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill has now passed in the House of Lords and will go to the House of Commons to be considered. However, without the support of the Government, it may struggle to get traction when considered by MPs.
