The Government has made use of scientific evidence that old people feel cold after the age of 66, although some put the figure nearer 75.
Dr Cameron's paper on the subject can be found in the British Medical Journal and provides much further information which the Government's Minister of Health is looking at regarding children. This further paper by Dr Osborne, Clegg et al indicates that children whose parents receive child benefit do worse at school that those getting no benefit at all.
This study compared children at Eton whose parents received no benefit - during the trial period - with children at Tower Hamlets Comprehenive whose parents were indulged with generous child benefits. There is no doubt that those receiving child benefit in Tower Hamlets did worse than the Etonians in a large number of tests.
David Cameron, Dr Cameron's cousin, as an Old Etonian felt study of old age and feeling cold so impressive he immediately decided he must stop the wasteful expenditure on keeping old people so young as 64 warm. It was also evident to the Prime Minister, as an Old Etonian, that it would clearly be beneficial for the parents of children to have no child benefit at all.
'With the money saved' declared an exuberant Cameron 'we can now save Trident and our country can still be defended against invasion.'
