Benefit cap could affect 88,000 families

Labour's Liz Kendall said there were a 鈥渓ot of myths" about people who would be affected by a lower benefit cap.

And she added some of those were working families, with the changes pushing more children into poverty.

But Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg said the government was looking at "fairness" between those on benefits and those who were not.

He said: "It is unfair that people who are dependent on benefits should be better off than people who may be working very hard to earn that 拢29,000 a year."
