Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many historical arrears-only cases from the 1993 and 2003 Child Maintenance Schemes have been closed by the Child Support Agency since the Child Maintenance (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2018 came into force on 14 December 2018.

The information is not readily available and has not previously been published as official statistics, however we expect these new statistics to be published in June 2019. Information on the planned changes to the Child Support Agency Quarterly Statistical Summary to incorporate this information can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/child-support-agency-statistics-publication-strategy
