Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many Deduction from Earnings Orders are in place relating to child maintenance arrears cases under the 2012 statutory scheme.

The information requested is not currently available for publication. When system data are fully assured, it will be considered for release as part of a managed process, which will be pre-announced and in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

The Department last updated its strategy for releasing experimental statistics on the 2012 scheme on 30 September 2015 and this will be updated by the end of November 2016. We plan to release enforcement data by early 2017.
