Cameron even made a statement about this ridiculous situation in Parliament after this hit the media:

Seven years ago we were paying 36 million pounds a year for this (due to EU rules we have no choice), yet at the same time Child Benefit for children living in this country has been cut in real terms and stopped completely in some cases.

When I said that both leaving & staying in the EU had advantages and disadvantages, this will be one of the advantages of leaving.
