The others to be suspended are the former business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey, Apsana Begum, Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Imran Hussain and Zarah Sultana.
The move will be seen as a show of strength by the new prime minister after he easily saw off the first rebellion of his premiership, by 363 votes to 103, a majority of 260.
In a bid to head off a larger revolt on the issue, ministers had said on Monday that they would consider ditching the “cruel” policy. But, just hours before the vote, the new work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall said the government had to do “the sums” before it could commit to abolishing the limit.
Charities, unions and even former home secretary Suella Braverman have all urged the new PM to dump the cap, brought in nearly a decade ago as one of George Osborne’s austerity measures.
The charity Action for Children has called the policy “cruel” and warned it “creates and entrenches” child poverty.
It currently affects 1.6 million children by limiting welfare payments to the first two children in most families.
