Child Support Agency

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he expects Northern Ireland residents on the old Child Support Agency system to be transferred on to the new system.
Answer

In line with the Child Support Agency in Great Britain, the Northern Ireland Child Support Agency has been processing new applications using the new computer system and the new legislation since March 2003.The introduction of the new computer system has not been without its problems. Therefore, existing cases will be transferred to the new scheme only when the Minister for the Department of Work and Pensions is satisfied that the new computer system is working well. No decision has been made as to when this will happen.
