The Education Secretary said that the decisions spent by the government’s U-turn on welfare changes have been “difficult”, as they have not committed to eliminate two-child profit hats.
Bridget Philipson said with the Laura Kunsberg program of BBC One on Sunday that the ministers were “looking at every liver” to get the children out of poverty.
But he said that removing the cap “will come to a cost” and insisted that the government is supporting families with the cost of living in other ways.
This forces the government to water a package of welfare reforms after the rebellion of Labor MPs, which would have saved £ 5BN in a year by 2030.
Climbing means that the savings will now be completely delayed or lost, which puts pressure on Chanhel Reeves before the autumn budget.
Before retreating on the benefits, the Labor Government was considering lifting two-child-profit hats, a policy that restrictions for maximum two children per family for those born after April 2017.
Asked if the chances of getting rid of the cap have decreased, Philipson said: “The decision taken last week makes decisions, future decisions are difficult.
“But all that said, we will see it collectively in the context of all the methods that we can remove children from poverty.”
