A FUTURE Tory government would extend child allowance so wealthier people can benefit, the minister for children said — admitting he did not know how much the benefit pays.
David Johnson said in an interview on LBC radio that tax thresholds mean that parents with incomes above £60,000 a year lose part of the allowance and those above £80,000 do not get it at all.
Mr Johnson said a new Tory government would double the thresholds to £120,000 and £160,000 a year respectively.
