Sir Roger Gale voted to bring in the two child limit in 2015 and to keep it in 2026. In between, 1.5 million children were denied support, and poverty among children in larger families rose from 34 to 46 per cent. He did vote to ban fox hunting. He scores minus 1.11.

1.5 million children were denied support by the two child benefit limit. Scrapping it is projected to lift 450,000 children out of poverty. In February 458 MPs voted to end it. Alex Burghart voted to keep it. Twice. He scores minus 1.13 on our card.
