SAVE CHILD BENEFITS!
Petition published by Sharon Armstrong on Oct 05, 2010
224 Signatures 
|
Target: UK
Region: United Kingdom
Petition Background (Preamble):
Chancellor George Osborne has announced plans to scrap child benefit where one parent earns about £44,000 a year. This is due to come into affect in 2013.
Ministers estimate the change will affect about 1.2 million families. These families are not "super-rich" but working hard and getting by.
Mr Osborne confirmed the cut would hit homes with a single or two high earners but families with two parents on incomes up to £44,000 - which might add up together to over £80,000 - would keep the benefit.
This proposal has provoked a huge response from the media, political parties and from "middle Britain".
Please sign this petition and show your support. More information on family finance and saving money can be found at www.babytod.co.uk
