Rejected petition Restrict child benefit to the first two children only

More details

Restrict the payment of child allowance to the first two children in a family. This should help limit the size of the population which is too large and save the country a great deal of money in these hard times. Large families should not be a right as they are a drain on resources and are paid for people with no children or small families.
