Child tax credits: Labour leadership candidates outline their positions

In a special debate hosted by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Victoria Derbyshire programme, the four Labour leadership contenders have been discussing policies, including child tax credits.
Acting leader Harriet Harman faced a backlash after saying the party would not oppose Budget plans to limit the credit to the first two children.
Three of the candidates, Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Jeremy Corbyn, said they would oppose the move.
But the other candidate, Liz Kendall, said Ms Harman was "absolutely right".
