CHILD SUPPORT AGENCY CASELOAD

Early day motion 461, tabled 11 December 2006 by John Barrett (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 35 members.

That this House notes that there are currently 300,000 Child Support Agency cases where no regular payments are being received by families and £3.5 billion of child maintenance arrears according to latest figures; believes that families still waiting to receive money from former partners must receive this in full; and calls on the Government not to write off any existing debts owed by absent parents and to ensure that these families receive the money owed to them.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 17, Labour 10, Conservative 4, DUP 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
