UNIVERSAL CHILD BENEFIT

Early day motion 776, tabled 11 October 2010 by David Crausby (Labour). Signed by 42 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 36, DUP 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Plaid Cymru 1.
