The Conservative Party has pledge that it will abandon the EU mandated practice of providing child welfare to parents of children not living in the UK the Telegraph has reported.
As Britain prepares for a hard-fought General Election next month, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has vowed that should his party receive another mandate from the electorate he will impose stricter immigration controls and, of course, deliver Brexit.
As part of these measures, the Prime Minister said he would end the practice of the UK taxpayer providing child welfare for some 20,000 children who do not live in the UK and are not British citizens.
Earlier this year, it was revealed the process of doling out benefits to parents of children not living in the UK was costing the Treasury £15 million per year.
Under current EU law, EU nationals living in the UK can claim £20.70 for the first child and £13.70 for all others, which is paid directly to their country of origin.
However, while the UK remains a member of the EU it is not possible for the British government to end this practice.
