Universal Child Benefit

EDM number 776 in 2010-12, proposed by David Crausby on 11/10/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Family benefits.

That this House is deeply concerned at the unfairness of the Government's decision to axe child benefit where one parent earns about 44,000 per annum; recognises that two parents earning almost double the designated amount, 87,500, will still be in receipt of child benefit; and calls on the Government to reconsider this policy and restore child benefit to all parents.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
