At least he's trying to reduce it from £80 to £18 a week

///"If there’s a Polish couple or a Polish parent here and they are receiving child benefit, I think they should receive child benefit at the £18 per month which is the child benefit rate in Poland, not the £80 rate that we pay them here in the UK.///

They shouldnt receive any at all

^^^^^ Said the Canny Scot!

;-)
So if Clegg went the EU Rule would be changed? I doubt that- at least he is attempting to do something.

It is not nonsense, it is a very good idea. I said so on this forum about a year ago.

An English person going to live in German gets their child benefit from German government and so on, so if that is the case we cant stop it totally (without getting out the EU).

But at least it should be paid at the local rate as it is far cheaper to live in Poland or Latvia than the UK so pay it at the local rate.

However I would prefer getting out the EU, but at least this rule change would be a start.
In fact here is me saying the same thing as Clegg in 2008 (I was called vehelpfulguy then). See my reply at 22:15 Sun 01st Jun 2008.

Why does it take so long for politicians to catch up.
