A reduction of families’ benefits worth around £3bn will lead to child poverty rates increasing to an all-time high, a report has found.

Such “benefit cuts” will push child poverty rates from a projected 31% at the start of parliament (2024-2025) to 33% by the end (2029-2030).

It will mean a record 4.6 million children living below the poverty line in the UK in five years’ time.
