Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

| families who can support their own children should not receive government money. they already have everything they need, why should they get extra? this only makes the gap between poor and rich children larger. the money saved from not giving child benefit to those who don't realy need it can pay for a higher child benefit for those who realy need it, and so shrinking the gap. |
