Universal Child Benefit Reconsideration

EDM number 2600 in 2010-12, proposed by David Crausby on 16/01/2012.
Categorised under the topic of Family benefits.

That this House welcomes the Prime Minister's suggestion that the Government may modify its unfair proposals to axe child benefit where one parent earns about 44,000; recognises that two parents earning almost double the designated amount (87,500) will still be in receipt of child benefit; and urges the Government to reverse its policy and restore child benefit to all parents.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
