FAIR AND EQUAL TREATMENT FOR ALL CSA NON-RESIDENT PARENTS

Early day motion 1898, tabled 9 November 2004 by Andy King (Labour). Signed by 50 members.

That this House notes that the new formula for Child Support Agency (CSA) maintenance calculations has now been in place since April 2003, which is more than enough time to stabilise the system; considers that existing cases have experienced a long and avoidable delay under the old rules; and calls upon the Minister to instruct the CSA to take the necessary steps to bring in the new, simplified and fairer method of assessment for all cases with immediate effect.
