Harriet Harman suggests Labour may tweak the two -child benefit cap to exempt certain families.

It follows ministers refusing to rule out whether the government will scrap the policy.

The cap means families are restricted so that they only receive benefits for their first two children.

Critics say the cap worsens child poverty by leaving the poorest families with a lack of support.
