MPs have backed a change to government's social care reforms, despite opponents warning that poor households would end up paying more.

The House of Commons supported excluding council support payments from the new £86,000 cap on lifetime care costs - by 272 votes to 246.

Labour and other opposition parties rejected the plan, with 19 Tory MPs rebelling against the government.
