The North West England MEP added that families should be encouraged to have no more than one child in an effort to combat climate change.
But he said he did not support "Chinese-like ideas of compulsion".

Davies added that he wants his plan to be considered by the EU.

Labour MP Sion Simon said: "This is a crazy idea."
