Petition Family allowance

More details

The family allowance was introduced to ensure that wives had money to feed their children as everyone was paid their wages in cash and some husbands went straight to the pub on payday. Now it is used to encourage people to have more children.
Stop paying family allowance for any but the eldest child.
