I didn't know it at the time, but apparently my dad used to send our Family Allowance, as it then was, to a charity that paid for children in the third world to have cataract operations to restore their sight.

It does seem strange that it isn't means tested. I'm sure 99% of my fellow fee paying school mates didn't need it either, yet we were all entitled to it.

I was always suprised that Mrs Thatcher stopped free school milk, yet allowed this benefit for all to continue.

The point I was trying to make was that not all children actually need Child Benefit. I'd rather it be taken off those who don't actually rely on it, which a lot of parents don't, and target it at those children who actually do.
