Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to table 6 of his Department’s publication entitled Child Maintenance Service statistics: data to December 2023, published on 26 March 2024, how much child maintenance had not been paid and needed to be collected through Collect and Pay in (a) each nation, (b) each region and (c) Newcastle Central constituency as of 31 December 2023.

The data provided within table 6 of the Child Maintenance Service national tables is based upon transactional financial data. CMS do not capture geographical data aligned to these transactions and as such it is not possible to apportion this information to geographical regions.
