This question was answered on 11th September 2017

a) As at July 2017 there were 1,640 parents with care with a Child Support Agency case in the Glasgow East constituency.

b) As at July 2017 there were 1,560 non-resident parents with a Child Support Agency case in the Glasgow East constituency.

Notes:

  1. Figures rounded to the nearest 10.

  1. Cases have been allocated to Glasgow East parliamentary constituency by matching the residential postcode of the parent with care and non-resident parent for all cases administered on the CS2 and CSCS computer systems, as well as cases managed off system, to the Office for National Statistics Postcode Directory.

  1. The number of parents with care and non-resident parents is a unique count of individuals within this constituency it is possible for either parent to have more than one Child Support Agency case.

  1. It cannot be assumed that parents with care in a) above, and non-resident parents in b) above, are connected to the same case although some may be. A number of the non-resident parents who reside in Glasgow East constituency will be connected to a Child Support Agency case with a parent with care who resides elsewhere in the country. Equally, a number of the parents with care who reside in Glasgow East constituency will be connected to with a non-resident parent who resides elsewhere in the country.

  1. A national insurance number was not present in the system at time of this data extract for a very small number of parents with care and non-resident parents, it has therefore not been possible to allocate these to a specific parliamentary constituency.
