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:
- Figures rounded to the nearest 10.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
