Business question from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Is it possible to have an early debate on the ““Alice in Wonderland”” workings of the Child Support Agency? I have a constituent with four children who is separated from her husband. She made a claim from the father, who built up arrears, but when one of the children went to live with the father temporarily, while he was doing an education or training course, the father claimed from the mother, who had to pay him. That is absolutely nonsensical. As BT said, ““It's good to talk.”” Is there any chance of the people in the Child Support Agency talking to one another, at least so that the payments that the mother would otherwise have made could be taken out of his arrears?
