Strongly agree

No

The SNP has consistently opposed the UK government's two-child limit policy on child benefits, arguing that it is unfair and harmful to families. They have called for the policy to be scrapped, which implies that they do not support restricting child benefits based on the number of children.

Agree

No, but replace with a Citizens Income

The SNP has not explicitly called for a Citizens Income, but they have supported the idea of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) in the past. In 2020, the SNP-led Scottish Government commissioned a feasibility study on UBI, indicating some level of support for the concept.

Slightly disagree

No, as long as both parents are permanent residents of the UK

There is no clear evidence to suggest that the SNP supports restricting child benefits based on the residency status of both parents. However, their advocacy for a more compassionate and fair immigration system could potentially include support for such a policy.
