Flat-rate Child Benefits Coming to an End?
MOST people want an end to universal flat-rate child benefits.
An NOP poll on the public services, conducted for the Independent and BBC-TV’s Newsnight, finds that only 35 per cent want to keep universal flat-rate child benefits; almost twice as many, 60 per cent, think better-off families should receive less than they do today.
However, the poll, designed to examine public attitudes to options facing ministers as the Tory conference starts, finds that the principle of a universal basic state pension still commands wide support.
Fifty-four per cent think the same basic pensions should be paid to all retired people; 43 per cent think the Government should reduce pensions for the better-off.
