Children: Maintenance
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Tuesday 8th September 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what analysis his Department has undertaken of the reasons why assessed child maintenance liabilities are not paid in full, broken down by (a) deliberate non-payment, (b) affordability concerns, (c) disputed assessments, (d) administrative factors and (e) other reasons. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) The Department recently published research which was commissioned as part of the wider evidence base used to inform the Department's review of the child maintenance calculation.
Amongst other things, this looked at the reasons given by both Paying and Receiving Parents as to why they did not pay or receive their full calculated amount of maintenance. These results are discussed in the chapter entitled ‘Insights on liabilities and hypothetical changes’.
These findings are based on the reasons for non-compliance self-reported by a sample of CMS users. |

Pensioners: Income Tax
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Tuesday 8th September 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department has assessed the potential impact of the freezing of the personal income tax allowance since 2021 on pensioners’ disposable incomes; what estimate he has made of the number of pensioners brought into income tax as a result of that policy; and what discussions he has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the implications for recipients of the State Pension. Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General The number of individual income tax payers over State Pension Age over time can be seen in Table 2.1 of the Income Tax liabilities statistics: tax year 2023 to 2024 to tax year 2026 to 2027 - GOV.UK
The effect of threshold freezes on the number of people forecast to pay tax can be found in the OBR’s March 2026 Economic and fiscal outlook – detailed forecast tables: receipts, linked below.
The previous Government made the decision to maintain income tax thresholds at their current levels from April 2021 until April 2028 and this is reflected in HMRC’s statistics and in OBR’s forecasts. The tax information and impact note on Maintaining the Personal Allowance and the basic rate limit for Income Tax, and equivalent National Insurance contributions thresholds until 5 April 2031 can be found linked below:
The Government intends to ease the administrative burden for pensioners so that they do not have to pay small amounts of tax via Simple Assessment from 27/28. The Government will set out more details in due course. |

Children: Maintenance
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Monday 14th September 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of all Child Maintenance Service paying parents paid (a) 100% of their assessed child maintenance liability, (b) part of their assessed liability and (c) none of their assessed liability in the latest period for which data is available; and whether his Department can produce such figures for the entire CMS caseload, including Direct Pay arrangements. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) does not routinely monitor the amount of maintenance paid by Paying Parents using Direct Pay arrangements. Receiving Parents on Direct Pay should contact the CMS if maintenance is not being paid in full, so that the case can be moved to the Collect & Pay service. For this reason, the Department does not publish regular compliance statistics for Direct Pay arrangements. However, the Department has published Direct Pay Research which includes an assessment of compliance amongst Direct Pay users, based on a survey of service users which was carried out in early 2024. For Collect & Pay arrangements, statistics are published quarterly. The latest figures can be found in section 6 of the most recent Child Maintenance Service statistics (data to March 2026). Please note that, while the CMS always aims to achieve full compliance, statistics quote the number of Paying Parents who pay 90% or more of their quarterly liability. This is because, for reasons relating to collection scheduling, some fully compliant Paying Parents may register in the statistics as paying slightly below 100%. |

Droughts
Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives) Wednesday 9th September 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the financial impact of drought conditions during summer 2026 on farmers; what support is available to assist affected farmers with additional costs arising from those conditions; and whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing any further financial assistance for farmers facing increased expenditure on (a) feed, (b) water supply, (c) irrigation, (d) crop losses and (e) other drought-related costs. Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Defra works with industry and across Government to monitor risks that may arise, including to farmers. The UK Agriculture Market Monitoring Group monitors UK agricultural markets throughout the year, including price, supply, inputs, trade, and recent developments.
As announced in August 2026, the Government is supporting farmers through a range of measures. These include temporary Environmental Land Management flexibilities and up to £15m in funding million for on-farm reservoirs.
Defra has announced an extra £50 million for Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) 2026 Window 2, which opens later this month. This takes SFI26’s total budget to £290 million and helps more farmers access support.
The Environment Agency is prioritising short-term abstraction licence variations, and the Government is committed to continue working with the farming sector to improve resilience of on-farm water supply to ensure farmers can invest with confidence.
The Government will continue to monitor the situation closely and work with the farming and water sectors, taking further action if needed. |
