"The government also announced it was delaying plans to impose a nationwide £500-a-week welfare benefit cap, due to start next April.

The Department for Work and Pensions said the full scheme would not now start until the summer, and in the meantime four London boroughs would implement the cap to test it in a controlled live environment."
