RACHEL Reeves left the door open to a rise in gambling taxes after Gordon Brown urged her to raise levies to cover the cost of lifting the two-child benefit cap.

The Chancellor said she was "deeply concerned" about child poverty as she faced questions about the former prime minister's proposal to increase duties for online casinos and slot machines.

Asked whether she was considering Mr Brown's suggestion, Ms Reeves said she had spoken to him last week and would set out Government policy in the autumn budget.
