Ex-Labour leader said child poverty has become a 'far bigger problem than pensioner poverty' Comments will put further pressure on the new Government.

Brown was speaking at the opening of a new Multibank ’ in Middlesbrough .

It is the latest branch in a countrywide network, launched by Brown , to distribute items such as clothing, shoes, toiletries, hygiene products, home furnishings, children's toys and baby goods.

Families affected by the cap in 2023-24 lost up to 3,200 a year in benefit support for their third and each subsequent child.

When it is fully rolled out in 2035 , it is set to affect around 750,000 families.

Scraping the policy completely would cost 3.6bn in today 's prices and take 490,000 children out of poverty.
