WHAT is all the fuss going on between our political parties over child allowance?
The Conservatives are saying one thing, the Lib-Dems another, while Labour is saying something else.
Surely people who have children want them, so isn’t it enough to receive £20.30 for the first child only. Any more than that and they should get nothing from the State; sounds fair enough to me.
This would stop all the problems the Government is having before this month’s Budget.
Why should taxpayers foot the bill for mothers having more than one child? If they want more than one, then they should ask themselves if they can afford it.
Think of all the money the Government would save this way. Yes, there would be hell to play if my suggestion was taken up, but it would save billions.
