Should child benefits be restricted to a maximum of two children?

Currently, there is no cap on child benefit. £20.50 per week is paid for the first child and £13.55 per week is paid for each additional child. More than 80% of children are in families also eligible for means-tested child tax credit.

Yes absolutely, with a maximum of two children

No, as long as both parents are English citizens, both are wholeheartedly seeking employment, and the legal children lead productive lives (no criminal record). I´d increase benefits for children with an outstanding academic performance.
