Hard to work out why this measure ever existed where "...The idea was to incentivise a kind of procreational discipline..." :ie. to discourage the UK poor from having children, whilst at the same time importing several million poor immigrants.

Why you would want to retain it is even more a mystery...but of course Labour's "... not the party to represent those who are out of work.”according to themselves.

-They're yet another party of the UK Gammonocracy and dont want to send the wrong signals out.
