Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they will publish their response to the recent consultation on the new compliance and arrears strategy for child maintenance; whether they will bring forward regulations aimed at improving how the Child Maintenance Service calculates maintenance for paying parents with complex income; and whether they still plan to write off arrears accrued under the Child Support Agency which are owed to receiving parents.
We expect to publish the Government’s response within the next few weeks. Regulations to support the strategy outlined in the response will be laid as early as is practicable.
