Although the Health and Safety Executive annually reviews substances for potential inclusion in the UK REACH Candidate List of substances of very high concern for authorisation, it is not anticipating an update to the list before 2025.


Written Question
Children: Maintenance
Tuesday 6th December 2022

Asked by: Siobhan Baillie (Conservative - Stroud)

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how frequently the Child Maintenance Service has used deduction from unlimited partnerships to enforce measures under the 2018 reforms.

Answered by Mims Davies - Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities

We have interpreted this question to be in relation to deduction from ‘unlimited’ partnerships to mean not a limited company.

The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost to clerically review each case.

The Child Maintenance 2012 system whilst providing visibility of sole and joint account data, does not have the functionality to separate joint domestic accounts from business accounts. Moreover, there can be more than one director in ‘unlimited’ partnerships, which within Child Maintenance is treated the same as a joint account
