Summary: would cut welfare bill by 2bn. Would remove some resentment towards those on benefits.

People should live with parents, get job and save up for house/marriage/children rather than having child, getting free house and being stuck in benefits trap.

I know FAR too many people who will end up defaulting on their rents because they are trying to feed a non-dependant DC that cannot find work, that they get no Child Benefit for as they are unable to access College courses due to 'U' grades at GCSE, .... and they are petrified already when their DC's are only 14yo.

I'd expect the colleges to alter their entry requirements to accommodate the new secondary exam structure. I can't see the colleges keeping the entry requirements the same and leaving their courses half empty.

Does it say anywhere whether this includes under 25s that are married or those with children?

Usually, the policies/rules for singles with no commitments are different to those who are married or have children.
