Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer
The Prime Minister's comments follow Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ signal that she was open to scrapping the limit in her November 26 Budget, a move that could cost more than £3 billion just as taxes are expected to rise.
Sir Keir told ITV’s Lorraine programme: “I can tell you in no uncertain terms I'm determined to drive child poverty down.
“It is what the last Labour government did, and it’s one of the things we were proudest of.
