You asked

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information:

  • What percentage of ethnic minority families in London have been impacted by the two-child benefit cap since its introduction in 2017?
  • What percentage of non-ethnic minority families in London have been impacted by the two-child benefit cap since its introduction in 2017?
  • Which London boroughs have the highest number of children from ethnic minority families that are affected by the two-child benefit cap?
  • How has the two-child benefit cap impacted poverty levels amongst children from ethnic minority families in London?

Please could you provide the information in email format.

We said

Thank you for your request. 

Unfortunately, we don't hold any information on families affected by a benefits cap. Your request may be better suited to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Their contact details can be found here
