Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many child maintenance claimants her Department has supported to provide non-geographic bank account details to the paying parent in each year for which information is available.

Child Maintenance Service supports victims of domestic violence in a number of ways. One of which is enabling notification issued to paying parents which provide non-geographic bank details, in respect of the receiving parents bank details.

On investigating this request, I can confirm that we do not report on the notifications issued and therefore we cannot provide the volumes as requested
