Children: Maintenance
Asked by: Joani Reid (Independent - East Kilbride and Strathaven) Monday 9th March 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to reform the Child Maintenance Service system. Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) The Government has announced reforms to strengthen the Child Maintenance Service (CMS), including its intention to remove Direct Pay and move to a single, enhanced Collect and Pay system. This will enable the CMS to monitor all payments, identify noncompliance more quickly, and take faster enforcement action. It is estimated that these changes could lift around 20,000 fewer children in poverty (on the relative low income after housing costs measure). These reforms will be implemented when Parliamentary time allows.
To improve arrears collection, the Government will also introduce administrative liability orders to replace the current court-based process, streamlining enforcement and reducing delays. Work with HM Courts and Tribunals Service and the Scottish Government is underway, with regulations to be brought forward as soon as possible.
In addition, the Government is reviewing the child maintenance calculation to ensure it remains fit for purpose. This includes updating the underlying research and considering how to ensure the calculation reflects current and future societal trends. Options for proposed reforms are currently being considered. Any changes made to the child maintenance calculation will be subject to extensive public consultation, and if made, will require amendments to legislation so would be subject to Parliamentary scrutiny. |

Children: Maintenance
Asked by: Joani Reid (Independent - East Kilbride and Strathaven) Tuesday 10th March 2026 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Child Maintenance Service. Answered by Andrew Western - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) is committed to providing a modern and efficient service for all customers.
CMS continues to exceed key performance indicators, including application clearances, change of circumstances clearances, Collect and Pay compliance and assessment accuracy, demonstrating improved outcomes for customers.
Through the Service Modernisation Programme, CMS is expanding digital channels and self-service options, including online services like Get Help Arranging Child Maintenance and My Child Maintenance Case (MCMC) which are available 24/7. CMS has improved customer communications via SMS, email and providing improved and clearer letters. Increased use of online services ensures resources are available to support customers with addition and/or complex queries or needs with call routing improvements made to ensure faster access to caseworkers-owning teams.
In July 2025, CMS launched Customer Connect, an online service that allows caseworkers and customers to exchange information efficiently through the customer’s online account, reducing the need for phone contact. CMS is now developing plans to roll out Customer Connect across the full service and for all case types.

5 Feb 2026
The impact of serious and organised crime on local neighbourhoods Home Affairs Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The impacts of serious and organised crime (SOC) in local communities can make residents feel unsafe and affect confidence in policing. SOC covers a range of crimes, including child sexual exploitation and abuse; illegal drugs trafficking; fraud; money laundering; organised immigration crime; modern slavery and human trafficking and cybercrime. Annually, SOC is estimated to cost the UK at least £47 billion. There are estimated to be over 75 organisations involved in protecting the public and tackling SOC, including law enforcement and criminal justice bodies; the UK intelligence community; Government departments; local authorities; regulatory and professional bodies; and overseas law enforcement agencies. In January 2026 the Government published a White Paper on police reform: From Local to National: A New Model for Policing. In it, the Government commits to “ensur[ing] that local police forces are equipped to make their local communities safer” while “introducing a new approach to national policing that protects us all.” Key proposals outlined include a new national police force - the National Police Service (NPS). This will incorporate the National Crime Agency, which currently leads on SOC, and include new Regional Crime Hubs. The White Paper also proposes the reorganisation of existing forces into fewer regional forces and the introduction of Local Policing Areas (LPAs) with responsibility for neighbourhood policing. This inquiry will examine the extent of the linkage between SOC and neighbourhood crime and explore the capacity of neighbourhood policing to support the wider police response to SOC. It will investigate the extent to which the new structures outlined in the White Paper will support the role of neighbourhood policing in tackling SOC on high streets and in local communities, with the aim of ensuring that local, regional and national approaches to SOC work together effectively and are resourced appropriately. Individual cases In line with the general practice of select committees the Home Affairs Committee is not able to take up individual cases; nor will it investigate individual police forces. The IOPC is independent of the police, government and interest groups, and is able to investigate the most sensitive allegations involving the police in England and Wales. The IOPC can be contacted at: We are the Independent Office for Police Conduct | Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). Legal cases We can’t publish submissions that mention ongoing legal cases. Please do not include details of an ongoing case, or details that are likely to be the subject of future proceedings, in your submission. Safeguarding If your evidence raises any safeguarding concerns about you, or other people, then the Committee has a responsibility to raise these with the appropriate safeguarding authority. If you have immediate safeguarding concerns about yourself or someone else, please contact the Police on 999. Signposting We understand that the issues raised in this work may be sensitive or upsetting. Victim Support provides independent, free and confidential advice for people who need help after crime. Report Fraud is the place to tell the police about cyber crime and fraud.
