Family Allowances Act 1945

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Family Allowances Act 1945 (8 & 9 Geo. VI c. 41) was an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom. Enacted in June 1945[1] when a caretaker Conservative government was in power, it came into operation from August 6, 1946, and was the first law to provide child benefit in the United Kingdom.

Family allowances had been one of the items proposed by the Beveridge Report in 1942. The Labour Party briefly debated pressing for allowances during the Second World War, but a party conference resolution to this end was opposed by the trades unions for fear that the amount paid would be taken into account in wage negotiations, leaving workers no better off.

As passed, the Act empowered the Minister of National Insurance to pay an allowance of five shillings per week for each child in a family other than the eldest; later Acts increased this sum. It was payable whilst the child was of school age, up to the age of eighteen, if apprenticed or in full-time school education.

I wonder what percentage of those in favour of sterilisation would be alive today...?

That was then (70 years ago), this is now. Postwar Family Allowances Act was about helping people with the cost of raising families after so many had perished in the 2 World Wars. It wasn't established as a primary or secondary income stream. Although I'm sure you know all this already.

I know this isn't meant to include politics, but the rules have already been broken.

Socialists think they know what's good for the economy: spout about more ways of stripping yet more tax from those people & institutions that actually do stimulate & grow the economy.... Then spend the rest of their time working out how to avoid paying any tax themselves and siphoning what they can from the welfare system.

This is one of many reasons why socialism doesn't work.

LOL.

In a thread not short on wtf moments, this one does stand out. Would 4KSuited mind telling us where or from who he learnt about what socialism is?

Those who can't even follow simple instructions should be neutered.

Nirvana were to alternative rock what  the darkness were to experimental metal - the band formed by their drummer, the foo fighters, were a much better band.

Removing the notion of punishment from the criminal justice system would reduce crime.

Kids today are much better behaved and happier than kids of any other recent generation.
