Motion Text

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.
