The government is keen to hear views from all parties with relevant knowledge or experience.

The government is holding a public consultation regarding its idea that there should be some kind of penalty for people receiving benefits who have more than two children.

Or rather, a public consultation regarding the exemptions from the penalty.

It has proposed some exceptions to this limit, and has started a consultation regarding these exemptions headed ‘Exceptions to the limiting of the individual Child Element of Child Tax Credit and the Child Element of Universal Credit to a maximum of two children’.
