Answer
My officials are reviewing the conclusions of Action for Children’s report, including those around the two-child limit, and these will be considered alongside ongoing work to bring forward an effective, sustainable and deliverable Anti-Poverty Strategy.
The final content of the Anti-Poverty Strategy will be subject to Executive approval and public consultation prior to its final publication.
