Answer: Mr. Todd: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions whether the new CSA computer system was subject to OGC Gateway reviews. [47970] Malcolm Wicks: The administration of the Child Support Agency is a matter for the Chief Executive, Mr. Doug Smith. He will write to the hon. Member. Letter from Doug Smith to Mr. Todd, dated 18 April 2002: The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions in replying to your recent Parliamentary Question about the Child Support Agency promised a substantive reply by me. You ask whether the new CSA computer system was subject to OGC Gateway reviews. The development of the CSA computer system is part of a broader programme to implement the Child Support Reform programme. Two OGC Gateway reviews of that programme have taken place. The first was from the 23 to 27 April 2001 and the second was from the 22 to 25 January 2002. I hope this is helpful.
