Four Labour MPs who were suspended for rebelling over the two-child benefit cap have had the whip restored, Sky News understands.
Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Imran Hussain and Rebecca Long-Bailey are now back in the Labour Party after being suspended for six months.
However, three others who had rebelled remain suspended with their position to be reviewed again in the future.
This includes former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, Apsana Begum and Zarah Sultana.
It is not clear why these three remain suspended.
The seven MPs were suspended in July 2024 after they backed an SNP amendment to the King’s Speech to scrap the two-child benefit limit.
