Most of the cash is being paid to relatives of migrant workers, with almost two-thirds going to Poland.Brussels laws mean ministers are powerless to stop the payments which triggered fresh fury about foreigners milking the benefit system.The figures were released by the Treasury in response to MPs’ questions just days after the UK Independence Party won European elections following concern about migration.Andy Silvester, campaign director of the TaxPayers’ Alliance pressure group, said: “The Government has to step in. The idea that UK taxpayers should be paying to raise children in foreign countries is ludicrous.”
The figures showed that last year Child Benefit funded by British taxpayers went to 20,400 families with a total of 34,268 children living overseas.Most is being paid to relatives of migrant workers who have come to Britain under EU free-movement rules. Express.

Considering The Damage To Our Nation Caused By Sky-High Migration, It Must Now Drop To Near Zero. We Are Already The Most Overcrowded Major Nation In The Western World!
