  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  @ MP voted aye to recover Child Benefit from those with an income of over Â£50K
  @ MP voted no against recovering Child Benefit from those with an income of over Â£50K
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted to seek to recover Child Benefit from those with a net income of over Â£50K per year.
  
  MPs voted on the question[1]:
  
  :That clause 8 stand part of the Bill; and that schedule 1 be the First schedule to the Bill
  
  Clause 8 in the version of the bill under consideration[2] stated:
  
  :High income child benefit charge
  :[http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/2010-2012/0325/12325.130-136.html#j0620s%20(child%20benefit) Schedule 1] contains provision for and in connection with a high income child benefit charge.
  
  The schedule referred to describes a tax on those with an income over Â£50,000 designed to recover child benefit paid to such individuals. The tax only applies to the higher earning individual in a couple. 
  
  
  The rejected amendment that was proposed was to "leave out clause 8"; ie. to drop the proposals intended to recover child benefit from those with an income over Â£50,000.
