📰 BISHOPS’ STATEMENT ON SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT PLEDGE TO END THE TWO-CHILD BENEFIT CAP:
"The Catholic Bishops of Scotland have welcomed the Scottish Government’s vow to lift the two-child benefit cap, which could potentially result in benefits being paid out to families of 15,000 children. The bishops look forward to seeing more detail on how the Scottish Government intends to lift the cap and hope that it will be lifted as quickly as possible to allow more children and families to receive support they so badly need."
Scotland's bishops along with Justice & Peace Scotland have long been opposed to the UK government policy which unjustly targets families who are most in need.
