Increase Child Benefit to £40 per child per week

Petition Details

There are 4.1 Million children in poverty in the UK. And another new 753 children fall in to poverty each day. The best way to tackle it is by increasing child benefits, so this will not prevent people from getting in to work, getting better jobs or better salaries as there is no taper rate for CB.

Additional Information

67% of children in poverty are from working families. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-39291999
