Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Anthony D Wright (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 24 November 2008 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
Child Support Agency
- Question
- I thank my hon. Friend for that answer. During its existence, the CSA collected more than £6 billion, but billions more are still uncollected. Will that debt pass to the new commission, and will the commission's new powers cover that debt, or will it be written off?
- Answer
-
No part of the targets that I have just mentioned, which were set by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State, include collecting more of the debt—another £70 million for this year, raising the sum to £1.08 billion in this financial year. The commission's new powers are not in force yet, but we expect it to raise the amount of debt that is collected even further.
