The UK Government has pledged to work “constructively” with SNP ministers at Holyrood as they seek to end the two-child benefit cap for families north of the border.

However, a senior minister in Sir Keir Starmer’s Government made clear he believes the “money for this commitment has not been set aside” by the Scottish Government.
