The chancellor will argue she hasn't changed her plans and that the government was always going to "fix welfare to get people back to work" and "make the NHS more productive".

Labour put a prudent approach to public spending at the heart of its election campaign and has a self-imposed rule that plans for day-to-day spending must be matched by projected revenue from taxation.Asked by the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg whether she would back calls to make the change, Ms Reeves replied: “It costs more than £3bn a year.

"We were really clear during the election that we were not going to make spending commitments without being able to say where the money was going to come from."If we’re not able to say where the money is going to come from, we can’t promise to do it. That’s true when it comes to the two-child limit and anything else.”She pointed to election policies such as bringing in new workers' rights, breakfast clubs in primary schools and creating new nursery places as evidence that Labour was still committed to reducing child poverty.

“Previous Labour governments have lifted kids out of poverty. It is what is in our DNA. We will do that, but I’m not willing to make unfunded commitments”.But Zara Sultana, one of the Labour backbenchers pushing for a change, said reversing the change was “not a radical demand”.

Also speaking to Laura Kuenssberg, she added that doing so was a "matter of political will” and accused the chancellor of “not looking in the right places”.

She suggested increasing taxes on wealth and raising capital gains tax, paid on the sale of assets, could be used to raise funds to pay for the policy.He quickly faced a backlash from across his party for his refusal to abolish the two-child limit.

Deputy leader Jackie Baillie then told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that Scottish Labour was "very clear, we remain opposed to the two-child benefit cap".During the election campaign other parties used the benefit cap
