/// In July 2011, the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) announced a 2.4 percent increase in live births in the UK in 2010. This is the highest birth rate in the UK in 40 years. ///
AOG, the Family Allownce of 8 shillings was paid for the second child onwards, not the first. As the eldest, I always felt unloved by the Govt.
but wasn't it only paid from aged 5?

That means not for 40 years has there been an increase of 2.4%. For over 40 years the birthrate has declined. So for one year, 2011 it may have risen slightly but the previous 4 decades, it reduced.
