Child benefit changes: Father and MP David Davies agrees with cuts 7 January 2013 Last updated at 10:07 Help Cuts to child benefits for higher earners across the UK come into force on Monday. The allowance is being withdrawn progressively from those homes who have a taxpayer earning more than £50,000 a year. It is thought the changes will affect 1.1m households across the UK, and about 28,000 in Wales. Anne Atkins is a novelist, journalist and commentator with a child who receives child benefit, but she is not affected by the changes. She says the cuts are completely unfair. David Davies, Conservative MP for Monmouth, is a father of three and is affected by the changes, but he agrees with the cuts. Ms Atkins and Mr Davies spoke to Oliver Hides on BBC Radio Wales.
