The Government has dismissed calls to prevent a cut to Universal Credit for 6 million people as a "stunt". Tory MPs are set to sit on their hands, snubbing a vote calling on them to make the £20-a-week uplift in the benefit permanent.

Removing support could plunge a further 730,000 children into poverty over this parliament, a report by the Resolution Foundation warned.

It could cut income by 4%, or £600, in the year from April, and push the poverty rate from 21% now to 23% by 2024-25, the think tank said.

But Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi branded tonight's vote a "political stunt" because the government is not obliged to act on it.
