Petition Action

Reduce child benefit to a maximum of two children.

Additional Information

I want the Government to restrict child benefit to only the first two children. People should not be paid by the taxpayer to have children if they cannot afford to house, clothe and feed them on their existing income.
Most hard working people only decide to have children once their incomes have increased to cover the extra cost of each child. People who are not working should not expect the taxpayer to support more than two children.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
